Alright, let's open this bad boy one more time.
There is a quick edit in the original post of this thread that provides useful context to this bump that I'd really appreciate anyone skim over before replying.
As a brief summary of my case, I'll copy my ban appeal email into this post for anyone interested enough to read over it. My hope is that a forum admin will stumble upon it and give it a read.
I didn't intend to add this part onto this bump, as I'm drafting this up... I've grown quite fond of this forum back when I was a regular here. Here's to hoping that I'm allowed back in at some point!
Cheers, if you made it this far.

Hello,
I'm writing this email as a ban appeal, but with hopes that this is different from the standard quality of ban appeals that I'm sure you're used to by now. (Original account - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=372249)
I doubt that you remember this specific case, but over year ago (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5150253.0) my account here was banned for plagiarism. The linked thread is a short 2 page discussion that may provide extra context.
I bought my account on September 22, 2015 (first post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1185587.msg12495060#msg12495060) - you can see in my post history (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=372249;sa=showPosts;start=1040) that posts before this have a stark contrast), and although that wasn't a smart move looking back, it's a mistake that I am more than willing to take responsibility for.
I don't want to waste your time with a long post that I wouldn't read in your position. I wasn't an incredibly reputable member, nor did I do many projects for the community. I do, however, have a very short list of points that I hope are considered when you read this.
Best regards.

- I operated a free web hosting service for members of this community (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2830067.msg29008817#msg29008817) for over 18 months out of my own pocket.
- I ran a post review/sMerit service (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3544990.0) to help forum newbies get started, although you'll notice that it didn't gain much traction and I let it fall through not too long after.
- I ran an information scraper for BitcoinTalk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1820826) in 2017 for some time, before they became all the rage here.
- I had frequent trades, often PP/BTC, that amounted to over $3000 during my time here. I did not care if my trade partners would give me DT feedback, and the reputation I built was solely based on what I needed.
- Subjective point - I often tried to contribute to a friendly environment, especially during times when members of the community were hacking away at each other without mind. Perhaps it was enough for a net positive in the community, although that one's up to you.
Best regards.
