Should he continue, or be involved in any other Major/Severe Infraction, he will be on a 1 Month Vacation from gaming on Conquer Club, in addition to being elligble for a possible Point Reset to 1000.

Having seen his games I very much doubt he knows how to play any other way.
I don't really understand the 'first infraction' point either. Haven't there been many, many infractions... it is just that this is the first time he has been called on it.
Doesn't your ruling give the impression that you can farm away and get as high as you can, keep the points, and then make a decsion about whether to change your ways?
When a case is as clear cut as this I can't understand why it isn't an immediate point reset.
I couldn't agree with you more...however, everyone deserves a second chance. It quite honestly could be his first warning, regardless of the fact as I've previously stated, that he's purposefully farming new recruits and that appears to be the only way he can earn his points. But, to save you and everyone else time, the rules as per this link states the progression of 'punishment' when found guilty of a rule/offense:

For users who break the above Guidelines, as they say, "there will be consequences and repercussions." The Mods and Admins will always take into account when past infractions occurred, and the severity of the current infraction and any past infractions, in addition to the intent of the infractions.
There are essentially Two Levels of Infraction in Conquer Club: Minor and Major/Severe.
* Minor Infractions are those that are more annoying than hurtful with intent. This includes but is not limited to: Spamming, Off Topicing, Forms of Flaming/Trolling, Necro-bumping, Oversized Signature, Avatar Abuse, Chat/Forum Newbie Abuse, etc.
o Minor Infractions follow the traditional vacation escalation scale of: Warning, 24 Hour Vacation, 72 Hour Vacation, One Week or One Month Vacation, Permanent Vacation.
* Major/Severe Infractions are those that are more than just annoying, but are intentionally hurtful to a user, group of users, or the community in general. This includes but is not limited to: Cyber-bullying/Harassment, Bigotry, Intentional Deadbeating, Repeatedly Holding Players Hostage, Serial Teammate Killing, Hijacking Accounts, Systematically "Farming" New Recruits, Illegal Point Collecting, **Point Dumping** etc.
o Major/Severe Infractions follow a shortened vacation escalation scale of: Warning, One Month Vacation, Permanent Vacation.
**Note: Due to the nature of Point Dumping having an impact of the integrity of the game, your account will be suspended first until the issue can be resolved.**
If an account ever reaches a Permanent Forum or Permanent Live Chat Vacation, their next infractions may be bumped up to a Permanent Website Vacation.
