Not very pushy, just anxious to get his only remaining character back and start over with it. As for the second chance, as far as my nosing around has told me it's just two words and an empty promise. The character signed up using his original character and is very uhm... "remembered" by others, who apparently still hate him after 2 years. Be it his own fault or not, I don't really consider this a true second chance.

And no, he didn't do anything that improved the old character that got him banned in the first place. He was quite "high profile" though, but the ban was for excessive ammount of profanity to nearly everyone online and trying to evade everything the other threw at him to calm him down. Apparently after a failed online relationship, don't know the exact details and those are irrelevant anyways.
