What a nice surprise on this topic, finally 

Welcome back @RegulusHr

Thank you @hilariousandco

Great news, I feel so happy today!
After almost 2 years we managed to finally see the return of a distinguished member of our local community.
All members of the Croatian community felt that RegulusHr deserve a second chance because of everything he did for the local community and we are all happy that it finally happened.
Welcome back dear RegulusHr!
We've all missed you so much.

@RegulusHr
You are finally out of prison
Congratulations and welcome back. The Bitcointalk world must seem pretty different now after two years behind bars. You will soon get the hang of it.

@hilariousandco
Thank you for doing the right thing!

@RegulusHr
I guess you can now close this ban appeal thread, you are no longer banned.

Thank you all for your support all this time.
I'll be careful not to make some stupid mistake again.
And that’s the easiest for me to achieve by not writing outside the local forum.

I think RegulusHr just got maybe the best gift for Christmas and New Year - and as I wrote to him on PM shortly before this news was published, miracles happen especially at this time of year

Wow, I didn't see that coming! This is the second thing we've got for the local Croatian community this week. I really feel proud to be a Croat!  

Thank you for sorting this out! Everyone in our local board really appreciates this.

Haha true. First we got few sub boards, now RegulusHr got unbanned. What's next, maybe we get our own moderator once again?

Wow.... we have so much love from administration this days 

Thank you, we all appreciate it very much.

I unbanned it.

It's the simplest thing anyone on this forum can do - just visit RegulusHr's profile and send him a message, and as far as I know he's online from time to time and I'm pretty sure he'd be happy to come back to the forum if he got opportunity for that.

I agree. Kind of. I'm not suggesting "anything unreasonable, impossible or unexpected", just another way of getting admin's attention - assuming all other options like e-mailing the address in the ban notice and PMing theymos - have been exhausted. Posting a thread in Meta has been comprehensively proven to be one of the least successful ways of solving problems here.

suchmoon, thank you very much for your suggestions but I don't want to play any games here.
I asked a simple question in the right place and in the prescribed manner 2 years ago and the only thing I expect is an answer, nothing more or nothing less than that.
I'm not interested in anything other than the final resolution of this case in accordance with the rules adopted by the admins themselves.
I believe I'm not looking for anything unreasonable, impossible or unexpected 

I think it's fucked up that you're not getting a response to this appeal at all, positive or negative, but that's just how this forum operates unfortunately. Same with the other requests regarding the Croatian board, or any request in Meta really - why not just post a simple "yes" or "no" instead of having people wait for months to realize that it was probably a "no".

Having said that, if you really want to have this done you gotta play the game even if you don't like the rules. If Discord is where shit gets done that's where you should go.

Did anyone here see a play Waiting for Godot (En attendant Godot in original French) by Samuel Beckett?
Are we waiting for RegulusHr to come back same way as Godot?

83.7% people voted to unban RegulusHr, but even if mods unban him after two years, I am not sure if we can contact him and bring him back again.

Ohh, that is awesome. I didn't visit the local today yet so I didn't notice the change. Thanks to admin team for doing that!
I am going to check my profile now and start moving some of my threads to the correct sub-boards .

I will second this. Thanks for the recommendation and I'm sure somebody more highly rated will try to find somebody he knows on Discord and try to resolve this.

The thing is that we should not have to find backdoors for issues like these. The rules for ban appeals are stated, we have seen less valuable members being pardoned and this is dragging for over 2 years! already.

The system where you have to know a person to get fair treatment is a bad one and we should not be accepting it and trying to find solutions around it.


We got that today and Local is already 5x better.

@suchmoon
The Bitcointalk Discord is another possibility, but it's not like the admins and those in charge haven't seen the ban appeal for two years. They know about it.  I don't think I have seen another ban appeal for any other member like this one. A huge amount of support has been shown for RegulusHr, mostly from the local forum, but also from neutral members.

I don't know what it is. It's not just the case with Regulus, it seems that anything we as a local suggest is met with some sort of hindrance, delay, non-responsiveness. We ask for a local mod to handle our board - nothing. The French members ask for trust to be enabled in their local marketplace - it gets enabled. marlboroza, myself, and many others ask if we can get trust in the Croatian marketplace - nothing happens, no response, no one cares.

We ask if we can get some more subsections to organize our board in a more efficient way. At least we got a response this time by Cyrus so I guess it's being considered at least. But nothing has been done on that front still.

So from a neutral viewpoint suchmoon, would you say we are being taken seriously or are we the laughing stock of the forum? Is it unreasonable wanting to make our local better organized? Are we idiots for caring and trying to make it better?    

Have you tried Bitcointalk Discord: https://discord.gg/ahgHyku

It seems that we will soon mark another sad anniversary (2 years) of the departure of a highly respected member of our community from this forum.
Dear Regulushr, thank you for everything you have done for our local community and it will never be forgotten.
Everyone in our local community are really sad that your case has never been reconsidered and that you have not received any response from the admin.
