It is a character lock, not an ip ban. You may still play but not as a staffer.

Well he would not be unlocked. Starting a new character on your current account however, is possible.

The message says "stafferS" plural, who else did this?

pretty sure the ability to delete any punished character without godly/admin powers should be considered a bug and fixed as soon as possible

The delete button in account management does not currently check for any lock or punishment. That's something we should look at yes.

For those who wonder, Dealer and Gahawar was also involved. They too have admitted it, and been punished accordingly.

Why is it bad to delete a punished char? I don't get the point? (That happens often to me :p).

Cause of how the karma system in astonia was designed. If you had more than a certain amount of karma, account-wide. The account would be locked. Punishments act as a permanent record, but not so much if you can just delete the characters.
