I have noticed a few active perma's running around lately and it's very frustrating. It's really not too hard to figure it out. In the past, perma's were used to grief the game on such a level that I simply have to be in favor of a VERY harsh policy regarding it.

With the player base as it is, 2 or 3 people cheating to work together will have a massive impact. And quite frankly, the game deserves better.

So, if your case is as you say, then I feel for you a bit. However, I'm in favor of HARSHER penalties for engaging in perma behavior. Stomp that #### out. By any means necessary.
