Depending on the timeframe and certain aspects of the situation, logging out in this way can lead to you preserving gear. This lead to a very specific rule being put into place in order to eliminate any potential for this to be exploited. If you had "no idea" it was a rule, that means you...
Shall I quote what I said last time?
That's the 7th of December if you weren't aware. You will be forum banned if you continue to ignore these warnings and repeatedly try to appeal before your time.
Denied.
These appeals are of the lowest priority and it takes as long as it takes. He was very aware you had commented but you must wait your turn. This will be returned to the bottom of the queue and you can wait until then.
Having taken a look at your previous bans, you successfully appealed on the 7th of January and by the 10th you were banned again. How can I even remotely trust you to follow the rules this time if almost immediately after saying this...
... you were banned again? What will be different this...
Why did you allow your appeal to time out last time? Why should we put the effort in if you demonstrated that you don't really care that much about being unbanned and our time might be wasted again?
You aren't banned, we just filter out VPN users with a list supplied to us by our ban handling client. If you are unable to play without a VPN then unfortunately you are unable to play here as there is no way for us to manually whitelist you through the system.
Denied - Not banned.
This was certainly an unusual one.
In the interest of transparency, there won't be any action taken against the staff member in any way as it was within a grey area as to how the mechanics of the feature worked and hadn't come up as an issue before. A number of staff were unaware of the...

(2.13) Please keep all aviation 300m above any greenzone excluding the airport (This is to make sure any roleplay is not disturbed).
"Enjoy your ban" -_- I'm of a mind to deny this just for that....
Regardless... blatant RDM where the only thing said is the unarmed guy says "put the weapons down" when you have no weapons.

It's like that because we have a whole staff team dealing with standard appeals and about 4 people dealing with perms. On top of this, they are even lower priority due to the reasons for their bans in the first place.
Perm bans often take much more investigation in order to make a decision and...
Sorry I didn't realise you arbitrate how we enforce our forum rules... (hint: you don't)
(12.4) Commenting on a ban appeal or report a player thread that is not involving you will lead to a warning point and a 7 day posting restriction.
The idea that you "didn't know" how it works means you...
(13.2) Abuse/swearing or unpleasant behaviour towards the staff team is not acceptable (Punishment is a community ban without appeal)
You were causing a stir as it was and then you didn't really know when to quit did you... Wait your 6 months.
Denied.
You've put a hell of a lot of effort into this. I looked back at your previous appeals and gathered some details and I'm going to choose to give you a chance. Don't mess this up or you will find we aren't very forgiving on the second perm appeal.
Welcome back!
Unbanned.
