Just curious, has a ban ever been reversed?
theres a story from bushido where he did
bushido one night after browsing the forum decided to go to sleep, without closing the browser window. he took off his headphones and put it on his keyboard. little did he know that the headphones were placed on the f5 key
for the entire night his computer constantly refreshed the forums. the next morning when he checked, he found out he was permanently banned for ddosing the forum.
apparently badspot didnt believe him until he and his friend showed proof that it was as easy as holding f5. as a result badspot changed the website host or something so it wouldnt happen again. naturally bushido was unbanned.
