User talk:Bamzilla1163

Hi, I'm sorry I didn't reply to your mail from November 25, but my Internets was down later that day and I never thought to check it anyway...I don't use that address for anything except this website, and you're the first user who has mailed me.

Anyway. I've considered what you said and I think you are sincere in your words. I'm sorry I couldn't lift your ban ealier as soon as it happened, but to put it bluntly at the time I was not inclined to believe you. Also, in general it should be considered that a ban is not just a "go away, you are being bad" type of punishment. It also serves as a warning in itself that we are serious about our policies and standards here. While I don't like to use bans except as a last resort for serious cases, I felt that you had gone a bit too far, and it wasn't until after reflecting on the issue that I changed my mind.

If you're truly apologetic and understand why you got the ban, then that's good - it means it worked, and hopefully from now on you'll be a reformed and constructive Wiki contributor. Everyone on the Wiki starts off like you - curious, not quite aware of all the policies, and perhaps unfamiliar with how things work. That's okay, we all make mistakes. Just as long as you keep your word and post the straight path from now on, there's no problem, and no hard feelings. (T/C) 03:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
