The only time people who were banned were unbanned was during that linus spam thread thing....
Typically bannings are serious matters, and thus, there isn't (typically) a reason for unbanning somebody.

I remember previous administrators unbanning people, but I suppose that is in the past.
Why they unbanned you I'll never know!
That's why they aren't admins anymore.
I knew there was a reason!
The policy has always been that bannings are permanent. People were only unbanned when they were banned by mistake in the first place. Unless I remember incorrectly.
The Model Citizen.
Old bannings are usually undone only after a *long* period of time, and when we think that the trouble that caused the banning was in the past.
Actually, I think TMC was the only time we ever did it. We discuss it a lot, but always wind up deciding that they were banned for a reason and can stay banned forever.
That was the only time, and that decision wasn't reached easily nor agreed upon by everyone so far as I remember.
He also wasn't so much unbanned as he registered again, if I remember rightly. But the reasons behind his original banning, if I remember rightly, were extreme personal matters. But I'm not entirely sure. He ain't here no more anyways.
To my knowledge, TMC is the only person to have ever not been re-banned after rejoining the forums, yes.
There were all those joke temporary bannings, and the bans-by-request, too. I think those are the only other times someone's gotten unbanned, yeah.
Dang it, now no one will ever unban me. *looks at his sexy pink rank*
Yeah, sorry bennator0. I'd help you out, but it does look good and I think that the only other possible way to get yourself unbanned is to sex0r an Admin...like The Man maybe. So, maybe you can try that option.
The Man wasn't single, last I checked.
The Man is too single, otherwise it'd be "The Mans" or "The Men". ;)Quote:
