glad to see you are reviewing the request jay. i was afraid it had been ignored. thank you.
maybe a "three strike" reinstatement could go up for a vote amoungst the membership after a lengthy "time out"?
if after say (6) months, a past member is even still around and wants back in, let the membership know, and start a pro and con arguments thread. then, put the reinstatement up for a vote by the membership. i think some members would simply not get reinstated because of their past negative contributions or behavior.
but in this case, i think we have a "three striker" still interested in contributing, WOULD BE A POSITIVE ASSET TO THE FORUMS, and Austin would be welcomed back by the majority of the membership because of his past positive contributions to the forum.
