Kicking a blatant cheater ASAP after gathering evidence results in nothing detrimental and actually benefits the rest of the server. Penalizing someone for acting faster than staff in this case is extremely weird. These situations are not always black and white and should be acted upon subjectively instead of automatically warning/kicking/etc. in fear of not adhering to guidelines.

That being said I don’t think either side should be punished over something this petty.
