Pluto's ban was deserved. He was toxic, targeted players who beat him on Gank Isle, and continued that behavior on Discord even after being permanently muted and warned. There’s no denying that his actions warranted punishment.
That being said, Pluto is also a young and highly competitive player who genuinely cares about the server. Over his time in the community, he has built friendships with many players and has always been invested in the server's success.
I've spoken with Pluto both before and after his ban, and I can honestly say that I've seen a significant change in his attitude. I'm not particularly close to him, and this isn't an attempt to get a friend unbanned simply because I want to play with him again. I simply believe that he has taken the ban seriously and learned from it. In my experience, genuine growth after a ban like this is uncommon, which is why I think it's worth acknowledging.
After being banned, he stepped away from the community for a while instead of immediately trying to fight the decision. Since returning, he has been noticeably more mature and respectful. The time away seems to have given him the perspective he needed.
Everyone deserves to be held accountable for their actions, and Pluto already has been. Now that he has shown meaningful improvement and a willingness to change, I believe he deserves a second chance to be part of the community again.
