My opinion:
1st offense: heavy ban (3-6 months)
2nd offense: perma ban
If I had to guess his age, I'd say 5.
Final comment: why did they make this change?

I once met a hacker that hacked because he didn't know it was against the rules.1 WEEK! THEY GET BANNED FOR 1 WEEK!!! nuh uh I'm done, this is bologna, my first offense was targeting someone and I got MUTED for longer than a HACKER gets BANNED!!! This needs to be a straight away 6 month ban and if it happens again its a perma IP ban. They should know better, I mean, have you ever met a hacker that says "i didn't know it was against the rules" cuz they're obviously lying, name one server where you can hack! ONE WELL KNOWN SERVER! exactly...point in case. My vote goes to 6 month ban just because they KNOW they're breaking the rules and it doesn't seem to bother them. Most say "Idc ban me I have 7 more acc just lined up ready to play"

There is a problem with IP bans. Maybe several hackers are playing in a school computer lab, shared with innocent players. But does make some sense, though.I think an intermediate approach would work best. For instance, first offense is one month and second is permanent. Also, if 3 or more accounts from the same IP address get banned, you get IP banned.
I do record hackers a lot, and I enjoy helping the server get rid of hackers, but there are some problems:
1) it takes on average 24+ hours for staff to respond to your report
2) very few people can and do record
-it becomes a pain when there's a hacker every other game and you have to upload post and threadbump 10 hacker vids
3) 1 week ban
