I looked at the length of your last 200 posts, and considered other factors, including how frequently you have been quoted (900+ times). It is my opinion that your old account should remain banned, but that you should be allowed to rejoin the community under a new account. Given the time you have already been banned, your previous lack of merit, and the minimum time it takes to rank up, I believe this to be roughly the same as a multi year signature ban. Alternatively, maybe 800 or so of the merit you received when you were grandfathered into the merit system could be deducted from your account, and you would be given a 12-15 month signature ban (plus the 9 months you have already been banned would work out to a two year signature ban).
I can't promise anyone will take my opinion as anything. Good luck!
This is assuming that your above responses cannot be disproven (to himself) by an administrator.
I appreciate your response but it is not really easy for me to start with a fresh account as it would take years to be a legendary again on this forum. I would rather stop using this forum(that's actually what i did for the past 9 months) instead of creating a new account. Also i can accept multi year signature ban as it won't allow me to earn a revenue from the campaign system and still i can contribute towards the forum, but keeping my account banned will demotivate me to leave this forum forever
I hope the mods can take a wise and caring decision perhaps.
But i am more afraid after readind your reply. Let's see what happens.
