Have I been banned long enough now ?
Has anybody been locked out longer than me ? Did I kill somebody ?
Last XMAS the mods had no sympathy for unbanning me yet, how about this XMAS ?

You mean from the pol lounge I take it?

I wouldn't bother. You're too hateful of a person. You wouldn't last a day. You spout bile and rancid puke. Condoned mass extermination. Do I need to go on?

Just change your nick for crissake and hop back in.

Just do what everyone else does and change your nick. You ban was probably forgotten about since everybody just creates a new nick when they get banned.

No everyone doesn't. Just those that can't wait out their banning time. Or those that want to post things under a different nick, that they otherwise would be too ashamed to post.

And I agree, there are people that have been banned for too long. This was before the forum had an option to auto-unbann someone after a reported time.

A more relevent (And Honest) question would be "How many usernames have you registered to get back into the Political Forum after being banned"

The answer would be none.

Rather than asking about the time server, you should have mentioned how you would act differently to avoid a future banning.

In prison, clemency usually only follows after the person has seen the errors of his/her ways and tried to make amends.

Maybe the whole idea rests on what you will do different next time around.

Indeed, tell us what you think might have led to your bannination, and whether you feel that you in your opinion you were wrong and fairly banned and will agree not to do such things again.

Then we will - no actually we'll do nothing since we don't really have a say in this matter!

Maybe a heartfealt recording you singing of "Oh Canada!" would sway the powers that be...

PM me with a good reason (better than "it's been a long time") we should lift the ban.
