========================= Criminal Case 3127 =========================
Bucky committed the Class-6 Crime of Naughtiness (as defined by
Rule 2356) by publishing the message quoted in evidence.
========================================================================
"Crime" is not defined anywhere in the rules. The English definition,
however, is clear that a crime is a rule violation. So it is certainly
a violation of Rule 2356 to Commit a Crime. All the requirements of a
criminal case are present.
Bucky is not a player, so I judge GUILTY/EXILE so as to prevent em
from registering, as it is the only punishment of any significance to
a non-player.

TTttPF. I see no reason why the sentence should be anything else as,
not being a player, Bucky is not required to follow the rules of
Agora. Therefore EXILE is the only sentence of any significance to em,
since it materially affects eir ability to join the game.
Gratuitous:
While rule 1504 describes EXILE as "appropriate for rule breaches of
the highest severity" (with no regard for the lack of other significant
punishments), it's reasonable to argue that Bucky's action counts.
If "severity" is measured solely by the class of crime, then it's
fairly straightforward:
* Bucky's action was a class 6 crime
* The only higher class of crime currently possible is 8 (Endorsing
Forgery)
* The only unappealed EXILE on record (CFJ 3099) was a class 3 crime
If "severity" is measured in ordinary-language terms:
* The defendant in CFJ 3099 has no other history within Agora, and
has a history outside Agora of self-identifying by at least two
other names ("Adam" and "Julian") for no obvious reason
* Bucky (as a long-term non-player participant) presumably knew that
no other sentence would materially affect em, but acted anyway;
compare CFJs 2982, 2985, and 3004
