I am because I want to have exemptions for "I'm back" threads from member who've been absent for at least two years, like Shimka.

Also, am I not wrong that the staff will consider unbanning members after two years of being banned, if they sent in a request to be "forgiven"? If that's the case, then shouldn't members who return after a "two year" absent be allow an "I'm back" thread? Two years is a "long" time. They have missed four Ciddies, numerous "tournaments" and many other things that have happened, like staff changes.
