Ban Appeal for "knowledge of hacking"

Note: I tried to post this once before but it didn't show up in the thread list, so sorry if this turns up twice.

My username is Gonzo Joe, but for some reason whenever I try to dispute the ban it just comes up with the ban message again?

So I was banned for "having knowledge in hacking", which to me is ultra paranoid. That's like banning someone for having knowledge in scamming, which everyone here obviously does!

The only reason I even know about hacking is because I used to work at a PC repair shop for years, I was the software guy that dealt with reformats, health check-ups and virus removal.

If you check the thread where I replied the guy trying to sell his crypter you can see I wasn't even interested at all, I even mentioned this wasn't the place to sell it.

If you also look around my other posts you can see I'm trying to become a better person (check my off topic and personal support threads), no way would I even CONSIDER trying to hack someone, nor do I have the resources to do so.

Now if I had posted some software that looked malicious I would understand the ban, but I can't get my head around why I was permanently banned just for having knowledge in a subject.

Please understand, I've only come to this forum with good intentions and I believe my posts reflect that.

Thanks for reading,

Joe.

 

He might just want to know for educational purposes, but who knows.

But I do genuinely believe you, so I support an unban.
