As far as I know, you weren't permbanned. It was a tempban, second strike. Ranting about it won't help you. If you have a question why you were banned, you should ask an administrator. These things are logged and they can pull it up for you if you have a problem. Ranting about it will get you nowhere. It's generally considered bad form to rant about a ban when you just got out of one.
You're on your last chance, unfortunately. Unless you can go another two weeks without a ban. As explained before by Mystic, you really should be able to have some warnings, but it really isn't possible anymore. The system was in place before, and it just doesn't work. And leniency can't be granted on any single user because the stupid people would expect it.
Now, I honestly hope you can stay on, as you've proven that, to some degree, you're more intelligent than a lot of other users here. But you really do have to conform to the rules, and ranting, as above, isn't helping your status any. I hope I've explained the situation well enough to you so that you can understand what you need to do.
I feel you, ranting about ut won't make it better, I guess I just did that thinking I was gonna get banned again after posting this, but I feel ya. and this was the message I got
"You have been banned from this forum.
Please contact the webmaster or board administrator for more information." and I tried to ask the admin, but I couldn't access the forum because I was banned, then I tried to email him and he never responded, so I felt taking it here would be my best bet.

Dark Warrior. I really don't know why myself. AJ mentioned something about Julian being banned by ip. Why? I have no clue. I guess it must have been a flaming PM or something. Who knows...
It probably was that then. After I got back to the forum from being banned, I noticed that Spermint sent me a PM flaming me, and I was in a really bad mood that day cuz I had a rough day at work, so I got mad and flamed him back. I know I probably should have reported it to the mods just like he did, but I guess I thought I was gonna be banned again and I didn't think he was gonna report me, I just thought he was gonna respond back.
So if that's why I got banned, then I apologize, people have their days sometimes, we all have them, lol. I don't think it was worth me getting permabanned though, I mean I can see how I would have got tempbanned, I would understand that, but being kicked off for good? That's just not cool at all.
Some of you are probably wondering how I came back and probably thought I was using a different computer. It turns out that my record label some how gave me the ability to hide/mask my IP address on my computer to protect me from the public.
All I have to do is switch it on and off and my IP can be visible or hiding behind a random IP the label gives me. So at first when I came back, I didn't even know I was banned because I didn't knoe the program was activated, but then when I restarted my compuuter and it was off, I noticed that I had been banned.
Now that it's on though, I won't know whether or not I'm banned because I have special access, so I hope I don't get banned again for going around the system, because when I did it earlier today I didn't know, nor did I know that I was banned, I just came on here to post and unfortunately found out from my label that I can't be banned, now I'm not saying that to rub it in at all.
I'm just saying that my IP is protected and I have special access, but this doesn't mean I'll be an ass and disobey the rules, it just means if I slip up by accident I can't be banned by IP, so just to be fair, I want to talk to the admins about another way of punishing me if I act up, I am opened to suggestions and I'm not going to be childish, if I do something bad and you tell me to go away for 3 days, I will do so out of respect for the forum, I promise.
EDIT: Actually, I still can be banned by email, so if I act up, just ban me that way, I have enough respect not to sign up again and log in under another screen name. It is what it is, if I get banned, then I get banned, I won't argue with yall about it because it's fair, but at least let me know why before I get banned so that I don't come back confused.
