You've been around more than  I have and I must say, even an account created for the purpose of appealing a ban is supposed to stay the course of an appeal and not participate in any other activity of the forum including posting on other threads but,  your user could be said to have violated that rule. In essence, it could be seen as ban evasion which in turn, puts out your appealing account for a ban.

I feel for you, looking out for possibilities, signature bans and even paid options to uplift ban but, its kind of difficult to open that window isn't it. In one instance, it could lead to some sentiments that would bring in corrupt practices of paying to lift ban and sentiments of having users banned with eyes fixed on payments to uplift the ban. That's the likely interpretation that might spring up any legitimate ban and unban cases so, its hardly an option to consider.

I suppose you should have stayed the course of an appeal and hope for the best but, you didn't really, did you! In some instance, you got to join in the critics on some DTs getting to bash people's accounts and circulate merits on meta
