As you'll see from the link above, I discussed the matter with Sav, and our decision is that the ban will stand—if "infinite" starts to mean "less than infinite", it loses some of its teeth and deterrent value. There is, as I'm sure you'll agree, a risk of keeping out people who have genuinely changed their ways, but the alternative risks allowing disruptive users to harm the community multiple times and detract from the experience of others. When forced into the choice, I don't think it's unreasonable to err on the side of protecting those who haven't broken the rules.

That said, I was very sincere in saying that I respect your honesty in approaching me this way—I don't remember you from back then, but for what it's worth, you've shown your changes to me. Best of luck to you.
