Think of it like this: when staff members break the rules and are not punished as severely as normal players (in this example, just a kick from staff? you think that's fair?)
it sends a message to other staff members that they can break the rules without any fear. It has already made a culture of rule-breaking staff members, due to which many players have evidently left.
Staff should be punished the SAME WAY as normal players. the punishments should be fair, regardless of whether the someone is a staff member or a normal player.
Lemme show some simple 5 year old maths:
P staff member bans Q player for gaining unfair advantage
P staff member bans Qx100 players for doing the same
there are Px3 staff members who do this.
now see the numbers:
300 players, lets assume all of them got unbanned in a month
now those 3 staff members just got removed for same/similar mistakes they commited.
what would those 300 players think of management? they see those 3 staff members laughing "LOL i banned you for that and i just got removed from staff"
i hope you understand the POINT.
