I have three things to say about three distinct groups.
Administration: If I can get them to trust me with some addresses, what say we go in together to buy some flowers or candies or something nice to thank them for putting up with all this? If even half of us put $5 each in we can send a well-earned "thank you" to some folks who need it and have well earned it. Yes, I'm serious about this, and I'll contribute and do the coordination (I'm assuming people will trust me not to run off with your $5, but if not, maybe someone else can be appointed).
To the people who knew what they were doing as they shredded the rules and the economy: My blessing for you is that you should be the next victim of the next person like you who comes along. Let's see how you like when some unscrupulous bastard ruins something you cared about just for some petty and temporary personal gain.
To everyone else: Remember that not everyone who has been shrubbed falls into the above group. Some of those who were shrubbed were shrubbed not for intentionally exploiting a bug, but for the much simpler mistake of not handling the information properly. That's not a good thing -- reporting bugs is vital. But as serious as it is, it's an order of magnitude different from people who acted out of selfish malice. Don't spit on people who only made a mistake, because I bet you made a mistake once. They're paying for their mistake as they should, but there's no call to spit on them besides.
