Well, first of all there was no need to appeal to unban the account as it was ban only for 7 days and would have been automatically unban after that time. Good that the account is unban before time but the account in question should be careful as next time the ban will not be of 7 days. It can be of 14 days or permanent if he did not follow the forum rules.
The problem is that not everyone knows how the system works and they get impatient with it. I think the OP is not asking for his friend, but maybe asking for his own account which has been rank up to Jr. member after getting 1 merit. He started his campaign service, so maybe that's why he asked. I'm not accusing, but it seems so.
