I would appreciate if it the TD team could reconsider the perma. I have been patiently waiting to talk about this but this ban has ocurred 4 years ago now. Smogon as a whole was entirely different, and the first tournament I ever had that i saw no correlation to ghosting whatsoever was the tournament right after, when I managed the SPL9 Wolfpack alongside TonyFlygon. In this same tournament i was clean and never encouraged ghosting of any kind(and this can be proven if you ask any of the players involved on this team), which also proves that I can and will be more responsible with this matter. But regardless even if i didn't, I have had more than enough time to reconsider what I did and as someone who's known to suffer through anxiety when playing tournaments, have suffered quite a bit without the chance to manage, since i still enjoy the tournament community a lot and want to be involved with it. Ever since coming back from my ban(which i quietly waited for, because I know I was completely in the wrong), I have been as clean as possible and in general have tried my best to stay away from any kind of ghosting, because I don't wanna risk something like that happening again, and again you can ask any of the recent teams from team tournaments i've been in for this. Like I said, smogon was just a completely different culture back then. Nowadays i barely even hear of ghosting allegations in general, although maybe it is just me being unaware of certain situations.
Regardless, without going in circles over and over the point i want to come across is the following: I cheated in a now dead tournament, in a different time, i haven't done any kind of cheating in forever, and I would love to have the chance to manage tournaments again. I'm an active member of the community, I follow tournaments very closely, I have pretty deep knowledge of about every tier's playerbase, and I would give my heart out for a great team environment if I had a shot to try it all again. It is such a pain to have a permament manager ban because I don't know what i am supposed to do. I have had the urge to manage multiple times but there's just no options for me, for something from almost half a decade ago with an entirely different personal mindset and community. Should i just consider alting and starting over smogon entirely just because i want to manage? Does it really have to be this harsh of a decision? I would appreciate the current TDs to reconsider this situation, and even if I am to not be unbanned in the near future, I would like to at least hear of a possible unban date somewhere down the line. Thanks for reading.
