I'll state my opinion based on what I've observed on other communities. Yes a user that was once banned is a factor that may be taken into consideration, but certainly just because that user has been banned once before for various reasons does not mean they should be denied instantly.

First thing to think about it, is the the date that the ban was inputted on the user. If it was very recent, then we should know the answer. If not, we move on to other considerations.

Second, if the reason was something like spamming, it's not as major as posting illegal content. A ban is there to remind people of the rules, not used as a way to punish people you don't like. Therefore, if I see that the user who was once banned had proved that they learned from their mistakes with addition of their contribution that suits the needs for becoming part of the team, then that's how a once banned person is accepted as part of the team.

Some other communities, they are just like, nope. Reject.

Therefore, in my opinion, I suggest that take considerations on a banned user applying for the team, not just quickly reject it because they were banned before.
