So we've had a lot of members cheating(duplicating) to receive unlimited medals and buying things they haven't earned. The cheat has been fixed but now we're left with the dilemma of what to do with all the cheaters.
We have started deleting all of their items but they can't accept their punishment and just resulted in them running around whining about bad admins and begging for items. So maybe they should all just be banned instead so we don't have to listen to all the whining and complaining.
Opinions?

I think they should get a ban. Not a permanent ban, though. That is a bit too far. I'd say maybe a week ban if they continue to throw tantrums around and nag people for certain items that they got removed.
As a staff member, you should already expect a lot of members to whine about multiple things. Such as Item losses, (Not on this server but just saying-) Lack of contests, races, etc. The only time a perma-ban is necessary, in my opinion, is if they were continuously hacking the game or anything relevant. Item duplications can mess with the server, but as said, a permanent ban is a bit too far. So maybe a 1-2 week ban?

For me, cheatings not something you can get away with with just a 1-2 week ban. 1-2 months minimum.

i see where these guys are coming from with the permanent ban. since the problem has been fixed for now, id say a month or two like above would go. but if they whine after that- or see that unfair (which for those who did dupe, it's perfectly fair), then just perma-ban them.

So are you saying temporary ban and lettings them keep their items or removing items and temporary ban?

I think they should get maximum punishment. Take away their items for say... a day or two, and let them sit and think about how stupid cheating is... then ban.
Just my opinion though... to each their own.

yes temp ban but remove their items.
and for those saying "i worked for those items!" well you didnt work for the others. and you should have known cheating gets you in a hole anyway. you dug this grave, now lay in it. we cant know what you had or didnt have before.
use your common sense, cheating gets you no where, and can stick your hardwork in the hole with you.
this may seem harsh or unfair, but if you try cheating the system the system will bite back. just be aware that we arent taking the most drastic of measures here

I haven't been on LM much so I'm not sure how serious this situation is. But from the information I've gathered, I think the cheaters should be removed of all of their items, then banned from a week to a few months. If they have done a major cheat such as unlimited medals, a ban for 6 months should do it (Is that a major cheat?). Obviously they cannot cheat anymore (Thanks to Myz fixing it ) but if caught breaking rules in the slightest way i.e. Begging for items they will be permanently banned.

I agree with Cloud. They should have their items removed, even if they worked for some items the shouldn't have cheated to get the others easier. But one thing what if they cheated (Dubbed) to get medals and bought pets with them. Would you remove the pets or let them keep them? It may be hard to know what pets they had before but still...

Looks like we all agree that taking away their pets, items, and medals is appropriate.
As for banning, I'm a kind-hearted human being. Therefore, I say: Let them beg for mercy.
If they want to stay in this game, they should publicly apologize on a news thread and ask to be allowed to stay on the game. If they refuse, send 'em packing.
See? I'm such a benevolent soul. We can give them a chance!

I think a 6 month ban is reasonable, as well as the items taken off. If you think about it, these cheaters have ruined the aim of the game and the whole point of medals. Players should earn medals, but instead diamonds were frequently being dropped, and had no use ingame anymore whatsoever. If possible, removing medals from the game and then re-adding them would be useful, as all of the duped medals would be deleted and players would have to earn them again. That's my opinion.

I think it's already enough to deleting the pets, and items. Because people did lost items what they didnt copy, and old pets also.
