Well, my friend was banned from here loooong ago as well (maybe 2010).
If i remember well, he had 2 accounts, one s2 and one demo, and wrote here on forum about s2 things, with his demo account. Direct ban, without any offense.
He bought s2 in the meanwhile, so maybe he can be unbanned too ?
Vano is a known contributor in the vob mod scene, he made dozens of them, and gets unbanned because of his 'friend' lobbying. But the ban was quite fair.
I guess there is a long list of unfair bans (mainly people like my friend writing about s2 content without proof they have license), so if u're removing the fair bans, like vano's, maybe u can have a look at the long list of unfair ones.
Nothing against Vano here, but rather against the miserable and pityful inconsistency of this forum rule enforcement.
