It should be two cases but I am keen on the first case.
Ah yes thank you, that 2nd case I heard about was @hacker1001101001. just couldn't remember his name.
There was a history of being unbanned after two years.
Its true that RegulusHr got unbanned after 2 years, but in that period he wrote only 6 posts and I don't think that he went around PM people asking for support.
I think he should accept the ban and simply move on...
If he is here only for the money, "moving on" would mean creating the new account and starting from the scratch which I think many of those permanently banned do, and that's one of the reason why I would like to see signature ban being used more. It of course doesn't mean that people would stop making alt accounts after getting banned, but I do think that some would rather continue being active on the main account.
