A ban is a ban brother, the offense that comes with it that's what makes it look more complicated. This is a season of love doesn't mean those who deserve the ban should just pop out of nowhere to plead and expect a free pass. This isn't just a free chance to be given to users with ban account, to me I feel an investigation or interrogation need to be applied.
They have already been adjudicated (banned), there is nothing else to investigate, and the forum is ready to clear everyone's shady past. As I stated in my previous reply here, there were several high rank good posters who were banned for some of their newbie days mistakes; these are the ones the forum is willing to call back.
There is this good user who got banned few months ago from our FPL fantasy pool; a perfect example of those I want to see return.
Not investigate per say but is like they need to look into their offense before allowing them to have that go ahead to apply for their account to be released, because is not everyone who deserves a second chance depending on what you did.
Like you said we do have those who got banned by some little errors they made in the past and I believe these set of people don't have any evil intention of coming back and making a huge mess in the Forum.
Some who got their account banned when they were still on the newbie rank, do you think they can still remember that they have an account that was banned?🤔
