I think that was the main reason but honestly I don't know. I didn't like the idea when they decreased the ban duration to instead of being 6 months to 3 months, but really there was another side to this whole thing. You say "ah why you unban them wtf" while the other side says "omg u killing the competitive aspect of gunz by banning all these players" (cuz the competitive players are basically the only one who hacks in this game)Is it to avoid losing more players? You want to give everybody a second chance? What if they got banned 2 or 3 times for hacking?
You still think they learned their lesson after those bans?
I personally think that you should get a second chance if you hack (with a long ban penalty for hacking first time). If they repeat themselves then obviously they can't be trusted. Frankly I'd much rather watch this game perish than in the end be stuck with just a bunch of hackers.

You can't target someone, that was the issue with your thead since it's not in the ego section.
