The reason why 2nd chances are given is because server population is higher up on the priority list than we all thought. If you permanently ban too many people, then your permanent player base % gets slashed...if the % gets too low, being a GM isn't so fun anymore.
It's a sick reality and it basically means that people will also push the envelope to break rules. Ultimately, people who do things honestly will stop playing because they're at a blatant disadvantage to the cheaters. Disadvantage in EQ means more time to do everything and I would venture to say that people doing it the honest way are already short on time.
I support permanent bans.
