Those sites that provide links to illegal videos on different sites are technically legal since they don't host illegal content. Besides people who share illegal videos don't usually have anything bad happen to them since they hardly know any better and it wasn't their content just the video's uploaded source.

That last sentence sums up why we do bans perfectly. They don't know any better and in some cases do it intentionally and repeatedly.

Given what happened to both Trdeathwing on KRwiki and B-fighter, this is unfortunate and some procedure should be addressed to offenders if it was not done out of malice. Still, some form of punishment must be done to let them know what they did was wrong.

Leniency is not something we should offer in abundance to those who break the rules. We need to draw a line somewhere.

It's harsh, and if it's any consolation, I hated myself for banning Trdeathwing (and still do), I don't like being the bad guy, but you have to understand that we can only tolerate so much before it gets out of hand.
