I'm tempted to unban right now. Here's why:
- Most hackers that get caught by our system won't bother to appeal because they know they're guilty so they'll move to 2.8.5 and never set foot on this forum.
- This guy came here with a consistent story that has stood up to all of our questions.
- This guy has no other accounts or computers and has not shown suspicious behavior. He does have 2 IP's but one is Verizon Wireless and the other is Comcast, likely mobile phone and home internet.
- This guy has been patient over 4 days since posting here, asking nicely and never flaming.
- Assist copies the whole pre-installed 2.5 folder, it is possible that his story of downloading a 2.5 torrent is legit. The day this guy started playing, he was banned, it's not like he was playing for a month and then all of the sudden got banned.
- He only had possession of the hacks which is detected even if you use it properly. There's no log saying that he got kicked for using the hacks, he just had them in the System folder.
Unless Jonny or the other admins say no, I think this guy should be unbanned and put on the watch list.
