Fair question. It is gonna change since the next version will introduce I hope an account system. Devs might have a better control on hackers.
Currently the ban system is a complete mess. Every server owner own a blacklist file related to their own server and they choose to add or not player's IP into it. People report hackers and other kind of bad behaviour here in the blacklist forum as you can see the ridiculous threads composed of thousands posts.
To answer your question, I don't know how the masterserver blacklist works and who is added into it and who inst. I would say confirmed hackers are msban 3 months and persistent hacker msban for life but it's a good question and I'm interested in the answer too. Who add them, how frequently, based on what reports?
