I was unbanned after a perm.
Just to be clear here, your previous perma ban was requested. This latest one? I can't undo it. I say this not to cover my ass or anything with Bore regulars but just to clarify that if you're a lurker in this thread who just got banned, I'm not the person to contact to get it undone.
Only EviLore has the power to raise the dead?
Well, any of us can theoretically do it. It's just the kind of thing that's going to get noticed. As owner of the forum, EviLore can certainly overturn other people's bans and not face any ramifications for it if he so desires, but for the rest it's really something that's not supposed to be overturned except by either: A.) the person who did it, or B.) by a pseudo-committee (i.e. an informal conversation in the mod forum or IRC where there's a consensus among participants). Otherwise, it's not really kosher if I for instance go "you know, that Kabouter really doesn't know what he's doing and that ban was a mistake, I'm undoing that ban." It's very likely going to be the case that someone will notice that so and so was supposed to be banned, and an admin can check the log to see who unbanned them. And since it's nobody's place to override other people's bans, the likely outcome would most likely just be: the person gets banned anyway, and I'm de-modded (and possibly banned as well) for "going rogue" so to speak.
End boring protocol conversation.
