Well, me being my lenient self, would have no problem, as I believe everyone possesses the capacity for change, but you must know that most of the users who WERE banned, are not ones you want to know, hang around with, or talk to.

They usually consist of trolls, people who use vulgarity that makes sailors cringe, or people who flat out make it their personal mission to make others miserable. Even so, we can't just "unban" people if the ban was justified. It's quite unprofessional, and even if lenience is coveted by some, randomly unbanning users who could easily harm the Wiki would not be tolerated.
