Archi "was lucky" because his winners broke rules recently or had not got punishment before????

Yesterday I tried to reroll the winner of one of my giveaways, because he has won a DLC 4 times and some other games 2 times.
Support told me that they can't reroll because that happened months ago and the guy already got punished and simply he's back. So the only way to get a reroll is if he accepts it.
I added the guy and politely explained him I would rather that the game ends on the hands of someone who hasn't broken the rules. But he told me that as he won't be able to win more games from me, he rather to get this one. So he told me I had the option to give him the game or get a not received and report. (Which is logic and somehow fair).

But is it fair to have to face consequences on that situation? He probably would have been on my blacklist if I had ever checked his profile, but he has been silent on the site, so never met him.

So what can be a solution? Should there be some reasons/arguments that justify a reroll? Should that "last month" be converted into "last year"? or removed.
Not sure if currently the appropriate solution is to ask that the giveaway become deleted. Is that better than a not received? Is allowed to delete the giveaway because this reason?

I don't know why, but sg stuff actually defends regifters and others by that last month rule. Any reason for that?

Under that logic, precisely that is what my reroll pursue.
What's decent on someone who has won some games several times and still has not activated games?
I rather that rules defend the other entrants.

But that person has been punished for that infraction. As such he has as much rights to enter as anyone else using this site. If you don't want that to happen again, next time personally vet each and every entrant on any criteria you want.

How should I put it. Look at me, if you do a little effort you can easily see that I did break the rules in the past too, I did get suspended for what I did, and since that moment, which happened over 3 years ago, I'm doing great enjoying giving away and winning games, running my own giveaway group, organizing public SG events, contributing to SG discussions and doing many other things, which could probably lead to me being called as perfect SG member.

If I did get banned permanently, or punishment would be too harsh, probably I'd never feel like going back and fixing my mistake, because people would treat me the same as typical CIS regifters who don't care about rules and they're breaking them over and over again. I did pay for my mistakes, and now I'm happy being a "hypocrite" pointing fingers at other people who are doing exactly the same what I did in the past.

Some people never learn, and in this case they should be treated appropriately, including perma ban if the guy didn't learn shit after his 2nd or 3rd suspension. But do not consider every rule breaker as a bad guy, especially when he did break rules long time ago, be it intentional or non-intentional. Doing otherwise leads to discouraging potentially "good" SG members from taking part in the community only because they didn't know or didn't understand how it exactly works when they first got here. Be it language barrier, lazyness or lack of common sense, you name it.

Not everyone understands that, I know bunch of people who blacklisted me without even stopping for a moment evaluating the case, and I don't even care anymore, I just blacklist them back, and getting back to being excellent member of this awesome community.

Yes I also got unintentionally one dlc and one game twice at the beginning. And had to facethe consequences. Still in both cases fixed it in the best possible case, that's why there is no trace. Then learned and when that happened again because I couldn't evade it fast enough, made staff fix it on my own initiative.

My initial idea was to change month per year, or even half year, but used year to simplify the idea. Still think the gifter should have a more important paper, see everyone here is suggesting to stop doing public giveaways. There's a problem there.
