Not really, that is not how EAC or Facepunch are handling bans right now.
With the newer policy, first-time bans don't trigger an immediate HWID ban anymore. Instead, they allow for unbans after about 8 months
as long as there are no repeat offenses. That is why some people can still play for a while after their first ban.
If someone keeps evading or gets caught again, that is when the HWID ban usually comes in during a wave, and once your hardware is blacklisted you are done.
It is not about the ban being
"lifted", it is just the way the new system works.
Also note that this depends on several factors and is unique from person to person depending on how many identifiers your system is reporting to EAC such as
- TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
- SMBios data
- Different motherboard manufacturers might not fill in the serial numbers and leave them as "To Be Filled By O.E.M." or "Default string" or simply just a whitespace
- A good example of this is Gigabyte which normally only has System.UUID
Saying stuff like "
5 bans" is the magic number before you get hardware banned is just retarded
