Cheating is a black mark that will be remembered for a long, long time. Reading through this appeal, I definitely do think a second chance is warranted, but is it deserved? There are plenty of things I can say or claim I "think" for the sake of this response to the appeal, but let me just get right into the meat of this situation.
Cheating to match another cheater is simply, fucking stupid, like, EXTREMELY stupid, however, it's not uncommon. As I mentioned in blooms' appeal, cheaters have a re-offense rate of at least 50%, it's even highly plausible to claim some people who were caught or accused of cheating still cheat to this day (if anyone thinks im "insinuating" them, drop your ego a few levels). Krim is someone I've seen on the forums on a consistent basis, he seems like a mature and laid-back guy, to build off what @AlexConway said, you haven't had your second chance, and I think people do deserve second chances, and considering how I called what Krim did "fucking stupid", then it's easy to argue it was just a stupid, childish mistake. But Krim also remembers what he needs to do as a player should he be unbanned, he has to keep to the straightened arrow, or else he would have wasted the staff's time, anyone who replied to this' time, and most importantly my time his own time.
All in all, I believe people who fuck up and do something as stupid as this should be punished, but I also think if they can show they changed, they should get another chance.
It all depends on how the community supports you at this point.
