to be honest think this suggestion will just be a waste of time but If you actually believe that you have made a good contribution to the forum, then go ahead and edit the original post and list your contribution to the forum. perhaps you can convince people and vouch for you that you are an important member of the forum and should not be banned. just a note that just because you think a post, thread, etc... is helpful does not mean that other people or the mods will see it the same way.
