What's the purpose of earned merit? does the user with 270 earned merit should be unbanned than the user with 32 earned merit? check the thread and you will see the user with 32 earned merit deserve to get unban than the 270 earned merit.
I'm not really sure if this thread is important because most of users got banned shouldn't get unban or changed to signature ban, only few of them deserved.
The list can be helpful only to know who was banned but would it help the case for these ban participants to get unbanned

I dont think so.
the OP just made a 2023 version of the thread he shared at the bottom of his post, he is not saying or implying anything that someone should be unbanned.
But then he spends the time and effort to combine and produce this list. Anytime spent should be productive for some purpose and I again fail to understand the purpose of this. The ban participants, if they see this thread, may get some hope that maybe someone will review their case again but in most cases, the right decision was already made by the forum mods.
