What confuses me about everyone saying he has done so much for the community is the fact that he put this appeal up less than a day after being banned...
and he obviously hasn't learnt from his mistakes, what's to stop him from being unbanned and doing it again straight away? Second chances usually come after time has passed, not immediately after a ban has taken place?
Reformation of ones character takes time, change within oneself is not instant.
and before anyone comments on it, 2-3 weeks is nothing, let's be honest here. The only amount of time that I would see as acceptable would be at least 3 months, that's a quarter of a year of someone's life, to reflect on shit is plenty of time.
