Complaint Punished for Following the Rules?

[EAGLE-7]

Hello, I recently posted a ban appeal after the server/forum rule time provided which was 1 months time. here is that thread: (https://forum.ss13.co/showthread.php?tid=16845). As an individual i did everything i could to follow every server/forum rule. I am now permanently banned and unable to appeal for 1 entire year. I am wondering why i was punished for following the rules & conducting myself respectfully during this month. I have admitted my actions were extremely out of line, I have apologized, & i have followed the rules. Now do i need to be UN-banned? No, but i need to know why following the rules and trying my hardest to go thru this rehabilitation process got my punished severely. What is the point to having concrete rules and procedures if they can be tossed aside so easily? All i want is to be treated fairly & to understand how I can best conduct myself in order to EARN my UN-banning. I realize i have argues against the process in the past & was disrespectful to the admins but I truly believe that this past month I have followed the server/forum rules to a T. I am trying my best to move forward but this year ban makes that incredibly difficult. Please anyone reading this please voice your opinion i wish to be apart of this great community. I do not believe this year ban was justified in this situation.
