I can name numerous users who have socked, some of them multiple times, that have only received temporary bans. I feel the issue at hand is complete bias on Zoe's part. I'm talking about a user who said in chat, word for word, "I really, really hate Octa with every fiber of my being." Let's not forget that when presented with the option of discussing the ban with admins prior to the actual ban, Zoe promptly went ahead and banned him without the consent of any admins. We have an extremely biased bureaucrat at work here, and she is definitely not fit to have a say on whether Octa returns or not. It certainly does not help that Zoe appears to have a "I speak for everyone when I say this" mentality that has made itself shown numerous times even outside of chat. Coupled with her incontrovertible hatred for Octa, do you really trust her judgement in such a case?

As for Octa himself, he's done some questionable things in the past, I'm not denying that, but like I said, many users have done worse and were still given temporary bans. Knowing Octa, I am certain he will clean up his act if he is given one more chance.
