I do not think 1 punishment identifies sora as a bad person, he admitted to his actions straight away and he didn't take full advantage of it. I know people have got into the staff team with a warn and I do not see why not sora can be one of those people.
He's a really friendly guy, he knows the rules and he abides by them. He is not a troll, he never meant harm by the hacking and I personally think that this man will make it far if given the chance. You guys should speak to him on team speak, he's a great guy to talk to and he's a real inspiration. I think he will be a grate asset to the staff team, even if you don't get it this week for the hacking I know for defiant that you will get it the week after.
