over 100K posts. have you contacted admins about reinstatement? I hate seeing long timers banned for stuff that was not particularly egregious.

DU is poorer when long time DUers get caught up in the FFR thing while trolls hang around for WAY longer than they should.

It's fine if you're in good standing, but otherwise you generally have to appeal to the admin and see if they approve before you kick off a new account.

Not my problem, though.

You did everything right. Right? I'm just surprised they didn't unlock your original account like they have for others.

You could DU mail the admin, or actually email them but not post in the forums. I got confused there for a moment.

Did you hear back from the admin after your post in ATA? This has some interesting implications for others. There's a lot of people I'd like to see be able to return who are currently FFR.

Totally an aside, but I like the new username.

There are some pretty hard feelings from some who were banned over 2016 stuff that never should have been banned.

That said, welcome back cali.

Did you choose your new user name as opposed to using your old one? Seems like there are a few old ffrd duers being let back in. I’d like to see a few more.

I was sad when you were just gone! I thought of you often and wondered if you were posting somewhere else.
