inconclusive. unbanned, closed.
i dont want to reopen this thread.
But I already told brett something that i need to post here for documentation, and I couldn't close the thread before i lookup a specific ip correlation that I thought i had on another server's sourcebans ( i was just extremely busy in the last 2 days to make an investigation that might change my original decision to unban, so i put my vote on hold.).
I just want to point out that the guy HAS been banned on other servers by SMAC for bhop scripting. Coincidentally, they happen to be the SAME servers in which thenewDC (other guy) has been banned by the same SMAC for the same bhop scripting reason.
I remember maynard telling me once that if a person is SUSPECTED of hacking, and currently under investigation (open thread), then information about that person from other servers may SUPPORT the ban if current info collected in ibis is lacking or inconclusive. Hence why i was digging up more shit before i close it.
That being said, 4-5 jumps is nothing to ban on, the admin made a banning mistake. If the guy stayed longer we would have had more because if they share the same hacking program, then it should be obvious on him too.
It's fine tho, i already told brett that I am going to vote unban 2 days ago, and I'm sticking to my decision because I couldn't find the ip correlations i was hoping to find on a saturday afternoon. He wont come back, but if he does, it wont be hard to get him.
tl;dr
unban supported. thread still closed. added background info on guy for future documentation only.
