if a user gets banned is there any possibility of such user to recover their accounts after some years or are there programs organized by forum moderators that can help users recover banned accounts. The reason of my thread is not to encourage plagiarism nor other offense that might lead to permanent ban.

But it's stressful growing an account from scratch to a high profiled account only to get banned permanently without any form of future consideration. At least a process can be adopted even if it's would be a very stressful one but atleast there should be a way to recover a permanently banned account

Yes, but there's it's a rare consideration especially to some users who really has proven its contribution in this forum. Some are being banned temporarily but it takes years before they retrieve it again, as far as I know 2-3 years is what I've seen as the great temporary ban (correct me if I'm wrong). It depends onto the appeal to be honest here in Meta but if you're talking of those banned persona ages ago I doubt its possibility to be recovered.

Only quality posters can make their account reach high rank after the merit system is implemented in this forum. So this will be the reason why the permanent ban can be reconsidered by the moderators if the poster accidentally breaks the rule.

I would probably support a permanent ban if it was done on purpose even if the poster is a forum contributor or high ranking member. There is no difference in penalties between contributors and non-contributors users if the mistake was made intentionally. I think some people have said about this in another thread, I'm just reminding you.

The only way to get a ban lifted is by submitting an appeal to global mods/admins.
You can appeal a ban by sending a message to the email address on the ban notification or by starting a thread here on meta board.

AFAIK, only global mods and admins have such privilege and only them can decide whether you deserve a second chance or not depending on your contribution to the community.

Even if it gets reconsidered, how high do you think are the chances going to be for the person to get unbanned any time later or maybe immediately? That specific case needs to be super strong to challenge the judgement of admins and/or global moderators.

You meant permanent ban, not temporary ban. Then, the ban is permanent and the account is banned forever. It can be appealed for as jackg commented, if not unbanned after appeal, then the account is banned forever.

People can appeal, but best to avoid ban from the onset after account registration. There are some people that go against the rules and given temporary ban, there are cases of appeal and unbanning of account. But prevention is better than cure.

I don't think permenant bans are done lightly though and they can be appealed if they seem inaccurate.

Although, the chance that admin or moderator will unban a banned account is very slim, but very possible someone can appeal and be considered.

This thread is old now, but it kept track of some cases that were unbanned or, in any case, mostly commuted for a signature ban back in the day: ✅[BAN APPEAL]UPDATE: Total table + Ban status (Need feedback from Global mods). If you read through the thread and follow the links, you’ll be able to reach some of the details behind the cases.

Although the above thread stopped being updated a couple of years ago, I’d figure that similar criteria applies: ban appeals are studied case by case (with some luck), and if the banned account was clearly a net positive account towards the forum (and possibly somewhat noteworthy), something like a signature ban for a certain period of time could, in the best case, be considered. Most accounts on the forum won’t stand much of a chance, but if you glimpse through the cases on the list, you’d get a general idea of chances and circumstances.

If the banned user was a good poster, he/she usually don't get a perma ban. Those users get a temporary ban or a signature ban. Sometimes they get banned permanently but if the other forum members support the banned user, the mod's/admin's opinion might change and convert his/her perma ban to a temp ban or a signature ban. I can't exactly remember but I believe similar events have happened in the past.

Well a permenant ban does mean the user broke the rules of the forum and were given a permenant ban (I think if it was intended to be temporary still, the admins would hand out 2 year bans instead - but they don't).

I don't think permenant bans are done lightly though and they can be appealed if they seem inaccurate.
