Ok,
Firstly, from experience, most longtime members don't believe you if you say you're appealing a ban in the name of a thirth party (your friend). In most (if not all) of these cases, it's the person who writes the appeal that is perma-banned, but this person doesn't want to admit he/she is the one that is banned because he/she wants to play the sympathy card, or he/she wants to continue posting without risking a ban for ban evasion.
As for the reason you're banned: i'm not a mod, i'm not an admin, i'm not the person that reported you, but from experience, i can say that in most of the cases, it's because you (or your friend) copy/pasted content. In some parts of the world, plagiarism isn't taken seriously... However, in the US (where the admin is located), plagiarism is a serious offence (you can actually go to jail for plagiarism).
Here is a full list of the rules:

I don't know if there is a premade list of perma-bannable offences, but i guess it would contain following infractions:
- copy/pasting content
- ban evasion
- spamming (i think a spammer gets 3 temp-bans before he/she receives a perma-ban)
- doxxing the admin
I understand what you say. But we're talking about why he's banned. You can look through his profile. just a hunter. Besides, he does not participate in any other activities
