I think this attituse is total bs. What would the game be without bad guys? A mudsexxing mush? Thanks but I won't have any. You need bad guys to have fun playing a good guy, and bad guys break the law. The game should not turn to non-playable if you simply act acordingly to what your role is supposed to be. I agree with Kilia.
It's not BS it is common sense. I am not asking people to not break the law, I am saying that they choose to do so, yet then complain about the consequence.
Of course bad guys are required, but the requirement shouldn't mean that the tribunals have to make concessions to make their nefarious life easier.
If a baddie wants a pardon then ask for one and RP it out, they shouldn't just expect it to come their way freely.
If community service is what is required then why can't the two people agree something. There was a bard serving Exile recently by singing to the patrons of the inn, this was the agreement made between the tribunal and the person who wished for freedom in the lands once again.
edit: So there have been a few more posts since the above one. I think it would help if people could be pardonned for individual crimes, rather than all or nothing.
As for banishing, in my time in a leadership role I have banished one person... just one. The only pardons I have refused are to people who have (after an initial pardon) broken the law again and / or are members of a group who are at war with the tribunal.
So, while I believe what I believe in terms of not breaking the law, it is not to say I don't believe that lawbreakers should not have another means of regaining freedom of the area I am a Trib leader of. I just don't think crime list resets are the way about doing this. Wiping the list in this manner just removes another reason to RP.

What you're saying here is that anyone not part of the ONLY "lawful good" allignment in the game deserves to be banished.
No that isn't what I am saying...
And furthermore, I hope I am not one of the people that are believed to be abusing the powers of banisment. I try and RP each case on the merits of what is said, not on the alignment of the person making the request.
Just as an FYI though... This is the typical thing I have started to hear:
Ev0l lawbreaker: "Unbanish me please I want to buy some stuff"
Me: "That is really not showing remorse for your actions"
Ev0l lawbreaker: "Then I will kill your guard"
me: *sigh* "You think that strengthens your case for freedom of these lands"
Yes, a little exaggerated, but not too far from the truth.
