How about it?

Thanks for your consideration.

    Maybe the signed amnesty paperwork got sucked into a wormhole.

    Either way all should be forgiven, both sides given a clean slate, and the banned allowed back in. It is the right thing to do.

    Hopper,

    I urge you to reconsider your position.

    Tyranny is unacceptable, on Adobe's forums or Moonpie's, or any other.

    The BANNED deserve support from all who see what happened.

    It's been mentioned before, but I think it bears repeating....

    What the banning-powers-that-be seem to forget is that these people whom they have banned (and insulted and otherwise mistreated) are software purchasing graphics arts professionals in many cases, who do have a say in what decisions are made on buying software, who will pass along their tales of being mistreated here to other people who buy software. If the banning-powers-that-be think that Adobe is able to absorb the ill-will that has been generated..... well..... I do hope that they shall find out otherwise.

    (*Sorry to hear that you have been having troubles with your health (again) recently Paz; I imagine the stuff here seems pretty minor in comparison, but your determination to try to get something changed is admirable.)

    Nice try, but I've already tried making such a request and remember getting a fairly blunt "was considered, but not gonna happen" type of response.  And yes, I think I had even mentioned the bit about how customers here (probably many ) often have control or influence over multi-license corporate or large organization purchases, but no good.

    Seems like a big risk to possibly lose thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in software profits if you happen to ban and offend the wrong person, especially for the sake of preventing some forum posts, but apparently it's a risk Adobe is willing to take.

    I vote YES...

    Out of extreme consideration for the banned, leaving them banned will prevent them from having to try to log on to these forums. Let them count their blessings.

    Amen
