A general complain on the handling of an unban appeal

[vampirate]

His ban was for old suspicion of metagaming three years ago, before all bans were removed. A ban was reinvoked after EVERYONE's bans were removed. He wasn't caught metagaming this go round, he was just suddenly banned. He wrote a paragraph explaining his current situation. There was nothing that got him banned this time other than him being him. So which is it then, were all bans removed and everyone is getting a second chance or are all bans removed except the people other people don't like? And the dude isn't big on writing text walls. I'm defending someone because their ban was wrong under the current circumstances. I don't care if he wrote an essay, his ban appeal was also locked so he couldn't reply anymore, so let's factor that in. I just disagree with how that appeal was handled. It wasn't handled the way ban appeals usually are, and the ban itself was wrong when everyone was given a second chance and the dude gets banned for some shit three years ago.
