Not necessarily. We've already seen some members who repented and repaid their loans after the community gave them negative trust. Neg. trust can be lifted and they can still get back to their engagement on the forum and regain their reputation. Apart from being the right thing to do, I think it would be his ideal route to come back and explain his position. Judging from his previous reputation, he might be able to join some sig. campaign to repay all debts over several months of forum activity.

But I agree, we can give him all the time in the world now. As a community, there's not much we can do except alert other members of the abuser.
