"Hi Evilstewie,
I've checked your ban and it looks like you've been banned or around 2-3 months. Normally, I'd think this is a decent enough time to either reduce or lift your ban altogether but I don't think you've been on your best behaviour recently after consulting some staff in the community as I haven't entirely been active until recently.
I'm not comfortable adjusting your ban quite yet but if you appeal in a week or two without causing trouble I think you should be unbanned, in my opinion.
Cheers and apologies for any inconvenience caused."
