Anyway...most people aren't looking for a ban. The ones calling for it misunderstand the effect it would ultimately have, or are playing a "grief the server" game.

Your are incorrect.
Most calling for a ban do NOT misunderstand the effect it would have. We know exactly what a ban means and entails. It's effect on the server would be noticeable in a multitude of ways. As far as attituded is concerned; we'd actually believe in the staff again. As it stands now it's seems very biased on the why's and how's this punishment was dealt out. What about those people that were actually BANNED in the past - how fair is this punishment that is currently being dealt to them? Regardless of how someone may want to justify it, it's not.
It's effect on the server would also be felt in the econonmy of the server. Currently the only thing stripped off of these cheating accounts was plat. Big whoop.
It would be noticeable as far as cheaters are concerned; overall less two boxing, less people running over others to get to a spawn because they know a mob is up, and perhaps more cooperation amongst individual players. In the long run, less people would be apt to test the rules if they knew that the staff actually followed through.
Yes it might drop the number of active players initially, but not by 365. 365 accounts does not equal 365 individuals. AND I can guarantee that out of however many number of players that might be banned, a good portion of them would be back regardless.
