Oh, that and so many other things as well.  Come to think of it, I haven't read an entertaining, excuse- and apology-filled ban appeal thread in quite some time.  A year and a half ago or thereabouts Meta used to be filled with them, but those types of threads have become kind of scarce.  Has anyone else noticed that or is it just me?
What do you expect of anyone that's already fed up with the usual shenanigans of a regular plagiarist?? You ain't tired already? Okay, I understand you're just a little bit bewildered but that's okay..  Tongue
It's pretty much like the old times, in our youthful days; if we told a lie and it was beginning to get sour, we'd be toast.. For that reason, we'd constantly build some other rehabilitations... I'll barely be able convince a 7 year old kid into feeling empathy with an impossible one like, say -- "oh yeah my mum? She swallowed a shovel yesterday and she's in the theater for an operation" right? Now that's exactly how their cookie-cutter stories sound like..!!

GreatOrchid, regardless of the fairness of the forum, it doesn't apply in your case unless you get rejected after pointing out a substantially constructive post you've made (as others have pointed out to you).  Personally I think this offer of a second chance is being way too soft on banned members, and a permaban should truly be permanent.  I'd wish you good luck, but that would be insincere.
 way too soft!!! He ain't even got one constructive post regardless... You told 'em nothing but the truth; he doesn't have a chance.

Maybe the forum is not fair for everyone.
You won't believe it, but all banned users claim the same thing.

Did you even read the requirements?
You must point to at least 1 really good, constructive post you've made.
Seriously?? I thought it were atleast 50 constructive post? Sorry, I may not have read too much at the time I bumped into this post by Cyrus but literally, 1 post is way too small for a user to not fall in that category. Its more like a free pass so, if anyone fails make it out, there was totally no point of lurking around in the first place...
I like the idea of giving second chances to folks with a desire to be productive.  On that note, if there is anyone who feels that I have left them unfair trust feedback or have missed something that I should have left you, feel free to reach out to me and I will consider making it right.  While I think I have always been fair in my doings and that is reflected in my feedback, I'm open to the idea of giving second chances to those who warrant it.  I doubt there are many (if any) such cases, but feel free to prove me wrong in a PM. Smiley
You haven't given me any merits  Tongue bahaha!!

Personally, I do like the idea as well... I feel alot of cases in the past may have been badly judged -- although I can't wrap my head around that fact particularly, but there's definitely a need for a review, reassurance and acceptance after a fair number of years.

Yes, I did.
Here I will rephrase it for you, maybe you read the requirements, but did you understand them?
This is what LoyceV meant when he asked you (bolded part)

Yes, I did.
I did accept the mistakes I did(Which was years ago) and have already been punished for that. I was really hoping if I can get a chance to prove my worth. But I don't think I'm to be given a chance. Maybe the forum is not fair for everyone.

I was even ready for a signature ban which will not allow me to earn anything but I can actively contribute to the betterment of the forum. I no longer have the desire to earn money by using my account but really want to do something which matters.

Those who could need any second chance from you can easily miss this notification. Maybe a much better way is to create a second chancse thread in the reputation board dedicated to receiving any appeals or reviews regarding the feedback you left to the concerned users.

Some DT members would have such threads back in the day, but it's something not common these days. Possibly because the drama surrounding feedback has significantly dropped over the years.

This is really good to know that you are atleast considering uplifting bans after some punishment.
I've been banned for more than 5 years now and I somewhere think this is really a harsh punishment and everyone deserves a chance.

I don't know if  I'm too late to appeal here as I got to know about this thread today itself. I would really appreciate if you could consider uplifting my ban. I do accept your terms of signature ban and will never ever repeat the mistakes again. You can also closely monitor me and you yourself can ban me anytime you think I'm violating any of the rules.

Nice review. I don't know if I'll say those who'll be unbanned are lucky or it's a well deserved but at any of the account, let's not assume or believe that even when our accounts are being banned we'll be opportuned to be unbanned as this favoured accounts maybe.
Humans can be psychologically different to have their views in different perspectives.
But anyhow, kudos to the administration to had given these affirmed members the grace of a second chance after being banned for such a long time and I hope that serves as lession to all of us all.

I stand corrected. Thank you for correcting me because I made an error when I incorrectly stated your Ambatman account was banned. I also re-iterate the fact that the Ambatman account is not banned. You had some issues with accessing the account and you were trying to reset the password (to which admin have not yet really made any progress on resolving for you). Thank you.

Of course it wouldn't be of any important to someone of your caliber
But it is to me
Getting those merit no matter how small didn't come easy for me.
And in respect to signature campaign
You can tell am in known
I want to build my account and I believe have gotten quite far with Ambatman.

Something of note. I'm not banned
Was never
Has never
And likely would never
I'm dealing with a forgotten password case not a ban appeal. Thank you.

Ambatman 2 is trying hard to have the ban removed from his Ambatman account as can be seen by several threads dedicated to that cause. To be honest, it seems the only reason he has to try to retrieve the account is because it is enrolled on a signature campaign. It is not as though there is anything of substance provided by that account historically which is supposed to important enough for him to hold on to the account. It is simply about having an account that was being monetised via a signature campaign.

It has been some time since he started his quest to have his account retrieved but it does not look as though admin are allowing it. We do not know the reasons.

Also, is the second chance thread going to be remain open for the long term? I am curious to know long the goodwill gesture from admin will last.

if I could access that I wouldnt need this
I could have just used forgotten password.
I am not saying that you are lying. I am just trying to explain why they are probably not responding to your email. While your issue might be genuine, it can also be a security loophole with which hackers use to access accounts of other unsuspecting users so it's an extremely sensitive matter.

If you have even tried to reset an exchange account whose 2FA you have lost access to, you will understand what I mean.


Cases are handled mostly in first come, first serve. So your appeal is currently on the queue, might take days, weeks or even months depending on the number of cases ahead of yours.
Recovery cases are so few lately. If his case was already in queue, we would already be seeing an entry in the seclog.

Doesn't signing message count as something
I have even signed two messages with two of my addresses.
Not to mention my Altcointalk account whose link is in my profile (not related though)  is still active and accessible by me.
If I was a scammer wouldn't the original had lay complain since
Sigh. 

Think I saw similar thread somewhere else, well I'm sorry you have to go through all this and it's almost close to end of the month and you're the one currently in charge of the monthly activities statistics for the Naija local board.

Cases are handled mostly in first come, first serve. So your appeal is currently on the queue, might take days, weeks or even months depending on the number of cases ahead of yours. The recovery team might not see or read your thread so I advise you send every necessary verification process to the recovery email. Sending multiple mails isn't going to help either, you have have to be patient.

If you can't keep your passwords, next time use a good password manager. Good luck.

The reason they want you to write to using the original email address is to ascertain that indeed you are the person who created the account.
