The ones you are seeing are ban appeals because they have to post that here.
I have also created similar thread few months back, asking about sub board in Meta for ban appeals. I think those ban appeal requests are cloging the Meta and Meta is not only for ban appeals, but for other discussions too regarding bitcointalk forum. I also agreed with what "bitmover" suggested. In that thread what I got two suggestions from "
Welsh"(Now he is in staff so maybe it's time to consider his suggestion) and "
LTU_btc" which I believed worth to mention in this thread too.

Subforum for account ban requestWhen an account has been ban then there is appropriate reason. As everywhere has an option to appeal bitcointalk has same. But I saw several post like above mentioned and saw that they do not get response. I think they receive a lots of message thats why cant response on time. In this case if there is a sub forum and people can discuss either ban is appropriate then people can report to moderator so that their work will less and they may concentrate on it.
This is why
I suggested that the message displayed when you are banned be changed to contact theymos/cyrus to appeal the ban. This way it doesn't clog up the Meta section. It's hardly a public matter anyway so it makes sense to have it privately discussed via personal messages.
Anyway, 99.9% of banned users have no chance to be unbanned,
Absolutely right. That's what I'm highlighting. Why we are allowing to post those annoying posts asking the same question again and again by those 99.9% everyday whose already knows the answer that they get.
Almost all of these users don't have chance to be unbanned, but despite that, they have right to appeal. Many of banned users don't even know reason why they got ban and by making these threads they get explanation from mods.
But maybe it would better to show reason of ban when users are trying to login in to banned account. Then we would see less ban appeal threads I think.
So I'm hoping these two suggestions will be seen by admin
- Message to be displayed when you are banned be changed to contact theymos/cyrus to appeal the ban
- showing the reason of ban when users are trying to login in to banned account
Regarding 2FA thing , I hope it will be surely added to the new forum update. Because we all agreed that to be installed ASAP.
