Why is that game no longer in the archives of KGS? See at

Has that mirror player been punished?
Playing mirror Go may annoy the opponent, but it is perfectly legal, and
is not against the KGS Terms of Service. I very much hope that no
player has been punished for it.
I realise that opponents who play mirror Go are inconvenient for bot
develpoers. I also know that some KGS users play mirror Go against
stronger bots, to improve their ratings above what they deserve. I
believe that this is not going to change.
Often, when a request is made to KGS developer 'wms' to change KGS's
behaviour, he refuses, and I think "that's a pity, it would be an
improvement". But regarding mirror Go, I believe that the way it is
handled is correct. Developers can use the "censor" feature on users
who repeatedly play mirror Go.
