Well if revocations is the way you go, and being just a novice, I won’t continue to protest, but I will reiterate that it seems like something you’d do to a lecher or a griefer, not someone who’s critical rhetoric is equivalent to Donald Trump’s. I haven’t checked by I believe I’ve been reaccepted into the community, so I have no further reason to organize a candlelight vigil over that, and I’ll totally refrain from criticism for my and others good from now on (really won’t matter if you say “Oh don’t” I just really don’t want to anymore at this point). You’re the boot, I’m the ant, I can’t say anything else.

The feedback you gave in one thread resulted in someone posting their work too early and getting slammed with a -16 rating in under an hour. This is the kind of situation that results in users leaving the site and is actively harmful to the new writers in the community. Failure to understand this is not a quality of a productive site member.
I have just now accepted your current site application. Further behavioral infractions will result in a ban from the site.
The whole "I won't continue to protest" being immediately followed by protesting of the staff action does not indicate they've really understood their problematic behavior.
I believe at this point, we can move straight to bans should there be another behavioral issue. Hopefully they improve.

I was not aware of that, and now I can see where the revocation came from. I can understand how a website, especially one with a fluctuating viewership, would value the retaining of its members. I’m usually conscious of butterfly effect-like scenarios like that. Well now I’d like to fully give my apologies, again, I truly was not aware. I’ll be careful to steer away from transgressions in the future. Thank you for reaccepting my reapplication. I’ll be more careful.
Yours sincerely,
Moi.
The link to the alexa stats does seem to be an unnecessary dig of the "yeah your site really does need to retain members since its viewership isn't steady, huh?" variety. That said, the user did request to be let back into the site, and now they're back, and hopefully they'll behave better.
