Well since Tony asked me in IM, I'll post about it here as well.

I agree that the ban should be there. While it was a trivial thing, it still ewas an annoynance and he had been warned before. While it wasn't a true exploit (just some simple code that he still had to run manually), it was still not acceptable. While I woun't outright ban that IP range on riocar.org, I will be watching carefully what happens.
