To be honest, you don't deserve forgiveness knowing that you have read the rules after doing everything you wanted to. The sequence of actions should be reading the rules first and then acting accordingly, but you have reversed that sequence and you surely have to bear the consequences of that.
Anyhow, it is not like your account was at a very high rank with some hard-earned Merits or eye-catching posts that you don't want to lose. It is just a Jr. member with some copy-pasted and bounty posts. So logically, you didn't lose anything that is worth a lot except maybe for a few on-going bounty campaigns that you joined with that account. So you can already start over with this account and try not to break any rules again to avoid facing the same situation again in future.

Your rank was only Jr. Member, I think it is not a rank which you canīt get very quickly.
My account is dear to me not because of the bounty, but also by the contacts and acquaintances that I found on this forum. I wrote above that I am ready to incur responsibility, albeit a long one, but that sooner or later the ban was lifted.
