Welcome back, @Insider3 !
Now please convince Heather to let Roger back, too! @RWB
I just made the same wish to a member who PM'ed me. I have no control over anything. Heather has shown she has a and the power to forgive is only for a ruler.
I know for a fact that some members that got banned don't give a heck and could care less. That's because they consider being banned as a loss for both PCGS and the other members here. At least one said he would not returned even if asked! There are so many forums to keep up with. For a while I was banned from several yet posting on the others filled all my time. Learning never stops.
Long ago, I started the "Who do you miss" discussion. Many knowledgeable posters have been banned and I thought if enough members missed someone they might have a chance to return to the form. A one week Christmas Grace Period to allow banned members access to show they can behave or even a pardon for the top five banned members we all want back would be a fun and novel contest. Who knows. Perhaps everyone can reach out to a banned member and ask them to apply again and give a sincere answer to the "why join" question.
Congrats, I³. Glad you are back. I came close with 2 warnings and as they say, 3rd time pays for all. I quit for a while then just stay out of things I see going bad. Hope Roger wants and is let back in as well as some others. We truly need you and them.

I'm glad to see you back. Welcome.

I just started posting again recently. I stopped on January 17th due to some medical things I had to heal up from.
Surprised that Insider2 didn't miss me. That's OK though.
I missed Him and everybody else. Just didn't feel up to posting anything for awhile.
I'm OK now. A little ornery cuz I quit smoking.

Yeah-I went thru that smoking thing 11 years ago. Fun, ain't it?
I was banned! Heather let me back today.

I got myself jailed twice, banned once, apologized, got pissed off, apologized, cursed in messages, and she (if it were Heather) let me return, stipulating that I was merely a trustee now, and that I could be useful around the jail, cleaning, and reporting on the activities of the inmates.
When we did not know what to do with the Lincoln Cent album that we passed around to members to fill, I suggested that it be a gift to Heather [sound of washcloth on nose].
I’m an acolyte. Thank you, may I have another?

The Mods post in discussions to give warnings and sometimes to explain why a thread id closed. A member in good standing can click on their icon and send them a PM. Since a banned (Ex-member) cannot post, after a long period of time, I applied for membership again and was reinstated as a new member.

Well, yea, but obviously not if Heather is aware of it.

He just created a new account. I don't know @Insider3 but posting you got reinstated (or created a new account), would lead me to believe that there could be consequences. I just don't want any one to get in trouble if they don't have to.
" I just don't want any one to get in trouble if they don't have to."
Seems to me if you get banned then you are obviously already in trouble. If you create an alt account after the fact then how much more trouble can you actually be in, nor care about getting in?
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
I think this thread needs to die. I get that we all return to the earth one day but keeping this thread top of mind is like an eternal rain cloud. Can we just appreciate everyone and live on until we don’t?

He has already explained that after setting up the new account he immediately contacted the moderators and begged/bribed (? ) his way back in. He made them aware of the situation and they granted him entrance.

I read his posts, I saw “Heather let him back in”, but I don’t see that he contacted the moderators. His last post said “I created a new account”, I don’t see “I begged/bribed to get back in”
Well we all know that this forum isn’t moderated on the weekend. Let’s see what happens on Monday.
