If you are indeed welcoming him back and you in fact encouraged it....then why take away his account in the first place? It is not about the money on your end.... It just seems really silly that SR (you) ban a vendor account like you did here( for the record I agree with everything you have said about this matter) but allow, and in this case want, him to resume vending. It would make a lot more sense to suspend his account for 30 days or something like that then to take away his vendor account and then encourage him to just sign right back up. If it was about a "fine", as in opening a new vendor account will cost him a very little amount of money, then fine him also. All you are doing essentially is taking away his original account name. And for what? I get what he did, I understand your position 100% and I happen to agree with it. I just do not understand at all you taking away his account. It seems silly.
