In my opinion, when applying a ban/warning, moderators should always consider two things:
First, the intention of the player. Second, the impact on the game.
When the intention of the player is clearly to break the rules, a ban should be applied. In my opinion, intention is much worst than the outcome, since it is purely abusive and un-sportsmanship. He knew the rule. A ban should have been applied. The outcome on the game should have been considered in his appeal, not in the original ruling.
Anyway, this is what I was doing when I was a mod and this is what I think is the best way to handle things.
