Crimson, you should remember that a DoS attack (eg, UDP flooding) is illegal in the United States, and I'd venture a guess that it's illegal in most other internet-competent countries. If the attacks came from multiple IPs, then it should be considered a DDoS. A DoS is an atrocious offense on the internet, second only to DDoS. It's akin to locking you in your own home, boarding it up, and then pulling all utility connections (water, power, phone). You have no way of contacting anyone that you are going to starve.

I wouldn't consider having aliases as an offense. But using the aliases to get around set laws (eg, bans) is, though not as bad as a DoS attack. But really, if person 'A' is paying for the server, then what right do you have to say whether or not he can be an admin? You do have every right to prevent him from attacking your own server(s). Will an XWIS ban really prevent that? Has he attacked only servers that are listed on XWIS, or has he also attacked servers listed exclusively on GSA as well?

How do you know that if you ban his server's IP from XWIS, that he won't just lease a different subnet from his server's host, or that he won't even change hosts completely?

In all, the question isn't whether or not you should keep the ban. If he has broken a rule to connect to XWIS, then you follow Olaf's judgement (and since (as far as I know) there's an agreement between Olaf and yourself to allow you to moderate the Renegade part of XWIS, your own judgement). If he repeatedly breaks XWIS' rules, then you take it up with EA.
