Reines pardon.

Your profile link: Frolic Away Gleefully, Reines.
Report/post/reason that got you banned: Erroneous report can be found here.
Proof of contacting victims for repayment or repayment of victims: My offense is ban evasion on the grounds that I felt I was wrongfully banned; there is no repayment to be made.
Anything you weren't banned for but want to confess to now: No.
Detailed description of the events that took place and why you think we should forgive you: Originally, I was banned on Frolic Away Gleefully because of a post by @Yousuckv2 : Frolic Away Gleefully/MadSeasons/MrCookies. After being banned in error, I was perfectly fine selling my gold to the likes of @309jmk over at PartyPeteShop. After my buddy Kirk asked a few times, I relented and finally registered to Sythe again. I thought it'd be cool to keep track of my trades on a vouch page, as seen here. You'll notice the majority of my vouches are from @309jmk . I am positive that Kirk, from PartyPeteShop would attest to my trustworthiness. The reason I was banned on Frolic Away Gleefully is that someone found an IP match between myself and a different user on this thread. The issue, though, is that this system is not meant to guarantee a link between two accounts; it even says this when you attempt to use the tool:
In short: my original account was banned because the IP audit matched it to an entirely different person that apparently did scam someone. There is absolutely nothing linking me to the other user besides a couple of matching IPs. It's very reasonable to consider that this person simply lives in the same area that I do and could have the same cellphone provider that I have. As I mentioned earlier, I have never requested another user to go first to me in a trade. Therefore, it's practically impossible for me to scam someone, because there's no way to get the gold back once it's been traded.
Did you fully read and follow this sticky thread in the pardon section?: Yes.

Because I was satisfied without a Sythe account, selling directly to gold sites, I hadn't really considered disputing the ban. I was doing just fine selling the gold to the gold sellers themselves. If you review my vouch threads for both of my accounts, you'll see that I primarily only deal with gold selling sites. In none of my transactions has the person receiving the gold ever gone first to me. I always turn the gold over to the buyer, then wait for the funds to be sent to me. Vouch threads can be found here and here. If you think about this logically, I originally registered July 4th, 2012. Why, then, would I create a new account on June 11th, 2013 to end up scamming with? How would I operate both accounts, simultaneously, for two years? And in that two years, why would the IP addresses only match up one time, if that were the case? It just doesn't add up. I appreciate @Yousuckv2 for doing his part for the community, but this seems a bit trigger happy. @SellerMan obviously hadn't spent too much thinking of the reality of the report. @Yousuckv2 is obviously very committed to this community, but he made the wrong accusation this time, and @SellerMan drove the stake in.
