i wanted to give my thoughts on this situation
i understand why sinz did what he did, deep sea mining isn't in the best position right now in the sense that when you do deep sea diving on riverden you cant see where the ores and crates spawn at all because its completely black,
in no way i am defending sinz for what he did because it is exploiting but if the sea was clear and you can see where stuff was this ban could have been completely avoided, nether the less he did exploit and he as done multiple times in the past with other things such as events.
I completely agree that some items should be removed from sinz inventory but only what he gained though using the exploit, if this is done then i don't see a problem with his ban being removed today
