How many DUers have been banned, then re-instated?
I was TSed in January of '04 (No complaints, I had it coming. I was on the side of the angels with the thrust of my post, but I crossed a line in expressing my feelings.)
In any case, I appealed and offered an explanation, Skinner replied in the affirmative, and I remain eternally grateful.
Has anyone else received a new lease on life?

1. I am one...I got tos'd once and requested reinstatement..I also was in the wrong
of course in the very beginning I was banned because I thought Will Pitt was a plant from the reight wing to change the subject, cause he did not cuss enough!!!! I moved and had new IP address etc...

6. The I/P forum got TominTib TS'ed too
He stepped over the line. No re-instatement was allowed. The I/P forum is a delicate area.

My earnestness was misunderstood.

16. I thought that was because you took Oscar into the lounge.
No animals allowed, even if your uncle gave him to you.

Edited on Fri May-01-09 05:16 PM by Richardo
Imagine my chagrin when I could not log back on.

The Admins were understanding and forgiving. O8)

11. I was actually going to start a post today
asking what happened to Swamprat. So he IS around here now? It's been ages since I've seen anything from him.

15. I was properly suspended after a drunken rant once
Edited on Sat May-02-09 08:35 AM by shadowknows69
Mercifully given only the "drunk tank" for 48 hours instead of a TSing that I probably deserved. I actually called the mods fascists, something not wise to do to someone who can "delete" you with the click of a mouse lol. Never happen again I promise. Hopefully. I don't drink as much anymore so the odds are less.
