He was blackmailed into doing this, if his story is correct. For fucks sake, how is his ban still not shortened? WaLK3R could've listened to his point of view before banning him, maybe? Anyway, if he is telling the truth, then this is a pretty fucked up situation and getting banned permanently is just a slap across the face. Give him another chance, it was a difficult situation for him and he acted irrationally without thinking. WaLK3R, if it's true that you just told him to appeal when he told you someone was threatening to hack/DDoS him, then that's a pretty scumbaggy move, don't you think? Could've at least banned him for a shorter time period.
