WHY HEDGEFX SHOULD NOT BE BANNED Simply because HedgeFx registered his account and started posting on the forum long before P2Pfinder was banned. No intention to evade or circumvent the rules has been placed in the behavior of Hedgefx. If HedgeFx had wanted to evade the ban or break the rules, it would have been enough to choose another name instead of Hegdefx.
It does not matter which account was created before the other as long as two accounts were linked together and one of it was already banned from the forum, then it's an automatic ticket for ban evasion, it's not the account that was being banned but the person in charge of the control of the two accounts connected, i expect you to have known this that ban evasion is not a negotiable business on the forum, but you may try you luck by sending a ban appeal to the provided email displayed.
