Just to add a few more points to the discussion so far OP, no matter the outcome of this appealing, you can check this thread thread to make sure you're making a "correct" appealing thread :
Ban appeal - How to make it right and reduce workload for forum staffs . Altough it's from 2019 (May), it does hold some good information, namely regarding bumping your appeal thread:
You already have the attention of a Global Mod (hilariousetc). Unblocking your ban is something only Admin can do. All you can really do is send an email to the address you have for ban appeals, bump this thread periodically and hope for the best.
However, you should (again) pay your attention to not break another rule by pumping your ban appeal topic. It means users have rights to bump each topic once per 24 hours, but they have to delete previous bump before start a new pump each day. Personally, I don't support the idea to bump topic each day, maybe 3 or 7 day per bump is enough to catch attention.
13. Bumps, "updates" are limited to once per 24 hours per thread. Bumping multiple threads at the same time is allowed if it's not annoying. [2][e]
21. Old bumps should be deleted. [2]
4. Bumps are limited to once per day (24 hours), yes this includes "updates", that's what the edit button is for. Old bumps should be deleted as they serve no purpose, and only clutter up topics and make it more annoying to read.
- In this list (also not updated anymore it seems). Again, do post all the arguments that you have (or at least that you think you have) in your favor and I'm sure eventually a mod will look into it.
