Obviously, if they did, there ought to be certain criteria.
-Have a different, active account with no offenses for 6+ months (prevents simply 'unbanning' an account. Person needs proof they are an active and responsible member of WoW community)
-Must purchase up to current updates on old account, or 1-2 months gameplay (a 'Fine' effectively)
Sometimes people do stupid stuff. It happens. In the real world, we have a legal system that allows people to own up and make reparations.
EDIT: Heck, monetize it further. Instead of "Recruit a Friend"... Get a friend to play wow for 2-3+ months, and get an old account opened.
