I think that people who have been here for a long time and who did not show signs of idiotic behavior should not be banned (in any case immediately). But banproof is wrong.
Understandably, the first thing you need to know, and not whether this is a false accusation. If the accusations are really correct and the person deserves a ban, HOWEVER everyone knows that this is clearly not similar to him and he does not behave this way, then you can throw a warning or something like that. If the player continues unsuitable behavior, then I can’t say anything what we should to do: admins will figure it out
Also in the topic dedicated to the discussion of the ban, people who know this person and express their opinion will play a special role (although I think that this is the case now, but it is not accurate)
And now the main thing: I do not think that people who have been here for a long time will consciously do the wrong things. They already know the rules and often they are nice guys. I don't think that was happening at all (again, I can’t say for sure)
Although I myself have joined this community not so long ago, so I don’t think that what I am saying makes any sense here. Admins clearly understand these situations better than me.
Sorry for bad English
