This was the same case happened to me before, I am glad my account hasn't been banned. If and only if you became true to this forum, the forum itself will forgive you.
I once cheated on bounty campaigns before, but what I did is to let go all of the accounts and come back clean with just this one account. Now, I am a full member in just a month and I am happy I can contribute freely to this forum knowing that I am not breaking rules ever again.
This forum isn't the same forum you can just easily take part into. Your account is a depiction of you. So as long you have the chance, do something good.
