speedy i'm not questioning your judgment here, as I'm sure you think he was cheating.
that being said, i can only see this going one of two ways:
1) you ignore this guy and let him be pissed off that he either a) was caught cheating) or b) was wrongfully banned
2) you unban him and then catch a demo of him
as it stands now it's a your word against his situation, and while you have the final word in situations like this it really doesn't look that great to an outsider
it's like sentencing someone to life in prison based on the testimony of a single witness when other people have come forward and said "it wasn't him"

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.
