So, how that happened that this person have been unbanned? I don't want him to be a part of our community and to be involved into any projects here.
Nominal profit from him is much less than real harm.
I don't think anyone ever unbanned him. He simply came back, new IPs or new names, and nobody has kept up with banning him.
Personally, I think what he did that one time was abhorrent, and it was abhorrent in three parts: a) hack the server - abhorrent; b) steal accounts to abuse the ladder - abhorrent; c) post all the stolen information including passwords on his website - abhorrent. Then he lies about it or whatever...
I don't know what he's done besides that, maybe there's more I didn't know. I only know this analytics site is pretty cool, so when I see him show up and post this project and say he wants to be good now, my first reaction is not to immediately ban him again... even though, yes, what he did before surely was awful and possibly deserves forever ban. But Lance is here now, Tupac is here, etc... Anyone can re-ban him if they want and I won't stand in the way. I just personally did not feel moved to re-ban him myself when I saw him post this thread with this project, that doesn't mean I disagree if any of the other admins want to ban him.
