I don't know who you are, but you were obviously a good enough player to get the member status, showing you were at one time a great part of the community, and maybe when you commited these actions, you were in a bad time. I'm sure plenty of us can relate to that as well.
There is a pretty strict no-tolerance rule against hacking here, but with you being a member and all, I don't think anyone would be too upset with you getting another chance.
I highly disagree that it helps him here, it's probably one of the biggest things that may prevent him from getting unbanned, because he broke his earned trust as a member. It's not like he was banned without a rank, but as a member you're expected to know the rules and follow them, and you're supposed to represent the server. Hacking is not a good way of representing the server, and he definitely did not show care for the rules even as a member, which obviously makes it shocking that he did it.
This is just my opinion on the situation. Vladimir, you're definitely one of the coolest people I've known, but shit man, this is something that I'm not sure you can come back from.
