This isn't the first case like this: there are a surprising number of notable members who originally bought their accounts.

After looking at the logs, I find it likely that this story is true ... Therefore, the ban is removed.

I just find it on the whole too unfair to treat him as though he did something when I'm looking at evidence showing that he didn't.

Feels good to be back; thank you theymos.

If anyone counters, I'll counter the counter: Say no to account dealers.

I wish your principles were consistent even half of the time.

I don't care what year it was ...

Always convenient, never consistent.

... months ago after the iluvbitcoins debacle ...

Interesting how that one turned out, right? Unless I'm understanding this incorrectly, iluvbitcoins also bought their account - except they bought it as a legendary, with trust-feedback years after I did. I'm convinced I have that story wrong though, because the actions of certain members are contradictory when comparing my situation and iluvbitcoins - please correct me where I'm wrong.

Thank you for not being one of the weak-spined muppets that dances to the bullets at their feet.

Imagine plagiarizing, being let off with a temp ban, and then still appealing.

Yet here we are.

Dude you just dug your own grave with that statement.

No, I made the situation transparent and allowed the proper people to make the call.

Sorry QS, this time around, it really was me explaining my situation. You'll get em next time, though! Tongue

Anyone else getting a feeling that 60 days later bill gator may try to tell us that it wasn't him

Anyone else as excited for me to be back as I am?

This also makes me call into question his judgement and I now question if he is right to receive my support for a DT1 position.

You're entitled to your opinion, but from the way you articulated that it sounds like you would be more supportive of my judgement if I silently accepted the punishment for a crime I didn't commit rather than explaining what actually happened and accepting what will come from my true actions.

nothing would surprise me at this point and he has nothing really left to lose.

Statements like this are surprising to hear from someone you considered a friend.

Now that my ban is lifted, it would seem the next objective is to appeal for consistency within the DT network; either tag all of us bought accounts, set a statute of limitations, or at least stop being so obvious when you play favorites.

Appeal successful, locking thread.
