We take a lot of things into consideration such as if players bypass their original bans, or if they have a unique account history.
Say for example you got banned for ESPing in 2012, unbanned, then re-banned for ESPing in 2014, then unbanned, then re-banned again for ESP in 2015/2016, we would look at if that user clearly deserves to be unbanned.
Another example could be if a user reached 4 warnings and the account was banned.
If the user was warned for flaming (for example), then we look at his past mutes/warns (and sometimes even bans).
If the user's time difference between his 4th warning and his 3rd warning is over a year, then that means he clearly changed or didn't flame.
You think we just unban people because we say "ok its been 2 months lets just unban" - yet you're completely wrong.
We have a protocol, guidelines, information, rules and a CP - we have logs of everything and we can see everything.
In the case of an appeal, lets go back to the idea that you got banned for ESPing.
If you're honest about ESPing (i.e. you tell us everything: where you got it, why you used it, why you tried to gain an unfair advantage) then we are more LENIENT in regards to the appeal - after all telling the truth does hurt but it is the truth, it should be something that is honoured.
Even though you told the truth, this still does not matter enough to just unban you. This is when we look at the account history (warns, mutes, bans, bypass possibilities, etc).
You (for some reason) think because we "like" or "know" these players we can just unban them.
Wrong, we generally handle appeals together in discussions or even on the thread - just because a player is unbanned does not mean each person agrees they should be unbanned, sometimes though majority rules.
In your case, you judge too quickly and it's annoying how you act like you deserve to know "why this" and "why that", when you don't and it's just wrong.
If you were able to know the "whys" of unbans, you would obviously have access to them.
