I won't reply to all of this, since I don't have much to say, but I will clarify a misconception the post above seems to have. Croakie was not permabanned three months ago, in an upgrade from an existing ban back then. Many have seen those ban waves, and the ban system for SL2 is not very robust. Which is to say, for a ban message to be displayed, you need to be on - Croakie was likely not on at the time of their ban, and had to be put through a jank workaround to make the ban happen, like putting it through Console. Croakie was banned as recently as every other recent ban name, as part of the same wave, and as part of the same investigations. It's not as deep or long running as you say it is in terms of how long they've been waiting - that is very much not correct.
It hasn't been very long at all. They have not been waiting forever for a reply to a permanent ban, and it does not make a reason as to why they haven't been on the game as long as they have. That much is mostly down to them. Naturally, it also goes on record that the GMs would not share details with other players than Croakie, because that then risks the inverse - people harassing THEM. It's between them and the GMs, not us as players.
This also means, by extension, that those three months were not all spent off game, and reflecting. There is not some three month gap between the last time they harassed someone and now.
