We gave him a chance, with the express knowledge that if such an incident happened in the future there would be a guild ban with no questions asked. If you don't have more evidence than that please stop beating that drum once and for all, it's getting to be like we're a married couple bringing shit up from 10 years ago.

I'd like to double emphasize this since Reiker has become a red herring whenever IB tries to bring something relevant forth. Perhaps he would like to defend himself on any personal attacks, as it's not my place to do it for him, but I do admire that he did not try to hide who he was when he returned, even after creating a completely new character to play as a main. I want to go into depth on this because I find it comical that I was there when Tiki was banned(By Tumpy Tonic Tantalar). The reason I find humor in this is that he was in the middle of a long bug post on how to help fix the pathing in Lower Guk. I don't find the fact that he was trying to contribute to making this a better server for us all while while being banned comical. I find the fact that Tibador brought this up to defend himself funny. A GM himself exploiting the server's lack of pathing.
As long as he plays on this server Reiker will carry this brand, but he continues to do a lot to contribute to the server. I suppose it would have been easier to release your IP and create a new character on the server like some of the banned people I know did, but luck was on his side and it seems he'd rather not break connections and take the approach of atonement.
I don't intend to look like I'm blindly defending anyone who has violated the server rules, but I wanted to point out that any guild decision in this matter was -very- carefully thought out, and it has paid off well for us.
