Well gotta say doesn’t look so great for you bud. I would say depending on when you were banned and how much damage was done is what your punishment should depend on.
From what Gores says it was duplicating beacons and the fact that you did it in the first place you knew it was wrong, but how long and how many times is important as well. If it was only a couple times spread out, not so major in my book, but if it was like every week several times then definitely should give your punishment more time and let the eco heal so to speak.
