My friend's account has been banned for seven days since he commented on an altcoin giveaway without knowing that it goes against the rules. He now is aware of his mistake, and it won't happen again. By today, the seven (7) days are over, but he is still banned.

Banned reason: commenting on an on-forum "ATA Lira" altcoin giveaway
Banned Duration: 7 days
Is there a way to recover his account or remove the ban?
Can you provide screenshot of the ban note on the account as proof that the punishment duration is just 7 days? And also maybe the timezone difference is what makes the duration a bit longer. Just wait a couple of hours and days before the ban punishment is lifted since this IIRC automated base on the time of the ban punishment. There’s no reason to be worried for your account if it’s not permaban because the mods will surely unban it incase the punishment didn’t lift for more than 7 days. Just gave it a cool down time to take effect.
