A member of the Croatian local was banned and it took the admins 1 year to change their decision and restore his account.
Much more than one year, because if you look at the date when RegulusHr opened its ban appeal thread (
15 January 2019), and when the ban was officially removed (
26 November 2020) it is almost 2 years, which is as far as I know the longest period in to whom someone was waiting for a second chance.
plagiarism? Not a chance...!!! but there are exceptions... may be one or two..
Much more than one or two cases, it would be useful to learn how to use the forum search option. There is one thread with a list that contained all banned for plagiarism and those who got a second chance - but since the list is already obsolete, it only serves as an example that plagiarism does not mean banning forever.
[BAN APPEAL]UPDATE: Total table + Ban status (Need feedback from Global mods)I think that an additional explanation needs to be given regarding the Regulushr case.
He first had to prove that his contribution to the forum was important and also the local Croatian community was united in supporting RegulusHr throughout the 2 year wait for the permaban to be abolished.
Do Barned users stand a chance of been reconsidered or been appealed for?Based on this case with Regulushr the answer is yes, the chance exists but very little, based on your own forum contribution and based on the support of the forum community.
