On Jan 27, 2024 Willy P, the Head TO of NYC melee, made a personal statement regarding the Hax NYC Melee ban decision.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yjv20zx1279TcGaQGMeLvu1iz_MLwpe82MCV9Z0Kzkg/edit Willy P Personal statement]</ref> Willy P explains why they ignored the first ban appeal video, which violated the unban agreement, even know many parties hax showed the video before release tried to convince Hax to not post the video publically and speak with TO's privately, they choose to ignore it as a violation as it seemed to show Hax improving and accepting responsibility. But then the next showed a backslide from his previous one, with the vast majority of the video focusing on restating claims about Leffen, and also showed unsealed private documents, plus revealing full legal names of the people who wrote the transcripts. He released these testimonies without permission, and also unlisted or deleted previous videos where he had apologized to Leffen. Willy P states states this showed Hax losing the progress they had hoped he made. Furthermore, the document states: "I do not believe Hax himself encouraged the threats or harassment against others, but whether intentional or not, when your consistent actions have consistent consequences, it is up to you to correct that, or to plain stop those actions", further stating "At the end of the day, if NYC Melee doesn't act on its word in enforcing the rules we set into place, we are arguably enabling this type of behavior. He would constantly use our unban as a sign of his progress, but when he starts violating the clauses we set into place that just doesn't make sense anymore." With Hax showing no sign of significant growth over the period of several years, and no reason to believe Hax would get better after the x number infraction, Hax was voted to be unanimously banned by NYC Melee. | On Jan 27, 2024 Willy P, the Head TO of NYC melee, made a personal statement regarding the Hax NYC Melee ban decision.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yjv20zx1279TcGaQGMeLvu1iz_MLwpe82MCV9Z0Kzkg/edit Willy P Personal statement]</ref> Willy P explains why they ignored the first ban appeal video, which violated the unban agreement, even know many parties hax showed the video before release tried to convince Hax to not post the video publically and speak with TO's privately, they choose to ignore it as a violation as it seemed to show Hax improving and accepting responsibility.

On Feb 1, 2024 a new ban statement was made that permanently banned Hax.<ref name="Hax Permanent Ban" /> The cited reason for the indefinite ban to become a permanent ban was in the new ban statement "In the period of Hax’s indefinite ban, the onus was on him to demonstrate that he wouldn’t repeat his offense, take accountability for his actions, and demonstrate sufficient change. He has instead repeated his offense, not adequately taken accountability, and ignored the recommendations of those who he seeks to appeal to. This includes violation of the provisional unban requirements outlined by his local tournament organizers, as described by NYC Melee" and further stating "Hax’s lack of sufficient remorse for his actions, incitement of harassment campaigns targeting other people, and his pattern of doubling down when confronted, even by tournament organizers who have tried working with him for years, makes his presence fundamentally toxic to the scene’s health".<ref name="Hax Permanent Ban" /> | On Feb 1, 2024 a new ban statement was made that permanently banned Hax.<ref name="Hax Permanent Ban" /> The cited reason for the indefinite ban to become a permanent ban was in the new ban statement "In the period of Hax’s indefinite ban, the onus was on him to demonstrate that he wouldn’t repeat his offense, take accountability for his actions, and demonstrate sufficient change.
