*Hacks once as a 12 year old kid, first time playing on server* Gets first ban for hacking, feels bad, is hack-free for 2+ years.Just don't hack simple as that. I have never hacked? Where does it get me? No where? Only time I have broken the rules is on the internet, on the forums, not this forums, reason: Swearing, another rule I broke was getting to a un-reachable place. Not on this server. So if you hack. Don't play this server. Just leave, staff don't need to deal with your troubles, if you don't want to leave, turn of your hacks. Simple as that.

Who is more qualified?
IMO, you never know a person's history before the server. They could have played on many different accounts, hacked on many different servers, etc. All you know is their record on one particular server. Say that one person is clean for 10 days and another is clean for 2 years, but with a ban for hacking prior to that. My conclusion from this would be that one was clean for 10 days and the other was clean for 2 years, favoring the "ex-hacker".
Anyways, sometimes I feel like people who have felt the effect of rules and have learned from them deserve a chance at mod if they have proved their innocence. I feel like this process shouldn't be automated though (like you get to reapply if your record is clean for 6 months) but you should have to go through an extra step to become mod where you can actually prove that you deserve it.
