Correct me if i am wrong.. but with posting here, he evaded a ban and therefore should be perma banned ?
25. Ban evasion (using or creating accounts while one of your accounts is banned) is not allowed.[e]

25. If you get banned (temporarily or permanently) and create a new account to continue posting / sending PMs, it's considered ban evasion. The only exception is creating a thread in Meta about your ban.
He did not create this thread about his ban.
This thread is not discussing to lift his ban.
Therefore he simply continued posting. A perma ban seems to be the most logical consequence ?
He started a ban appeal thread (which is fine) and continued posting by participating in this one.
[his archived post history here].
So if one day you are banned you will find normal and fair to not be able to defend yourself against an "appeal" asking for a permaban?
If a banned member can't reply to this kind of "appeal", those appeal shouldn't be allowed.
