I don't think some users should be given a free pass just because they did something stupid or came up with an inventive excuse.
After looking at other thread for banned accounts today I don't question why you made that argument but if theymos/cyrus want then I can provide a solid proof such as medical reports to support the facts I've presented.
But i think it'll be seen as another excuse.
The punishments are there and strict so people know not to do this behaviour.
As I said before I didn't mean to steal someone else's idea, work or thought and nor I did that. I just made a massive mistake of accepting their offer that I shouldn't have.
I understand I should have considered my forum's account position and consequences if they fail to deliver what they've promised because of their grudge or greed.
And if punishment by the permanent ban is good for the welfare of the forum, then I'll have to move on keeping this experience in mind.
