Penguin, it wasn't JUST patience through waiting whilst being banned, it is patience for actually not losing his temper whilst this was dealt with. I don't think we have had problems with him before this incident, and really, people do things which they can regret later. Invinsable has apologised. I can believe that his brother might have said he would hack, when his intentions might not have been to do so, and it also does not seem that he has tried to do anything of that sort.
Was it always so that us OPs and SOPs have no authority to unban a player? I thought it was the case that it was up to us to use our own judgement, since Clown cannot be expected to monitor every single ban and unban that happens here. I am not trying to revoke your decision to ban, but honestly, there has been plenty of time to mention any concerns you had about unbanning... yet, you didn't.
I always try to take in other OPs' concerns, but if you don't actually mention, how am I meant to know?
Edit - personally, I didn't actually know about the fact that he was spamming, so I admit, at that time he probably did deserve to stay banned. For now, why don't we see how it goes... If the same problems arrise, he can be banned again, and I will not argue with it.
