+1 for reduction, I really wish you'd just waited out the week or appealed it without a circumvent attempt but what's done is done and I believe that at the end of the day you're more or less a good person our community will benefit from having. As someone who's fucked up in the past and found himself in a remotely similar situation, I'm sympathetic, but it has to be by the book. I don't necessarily understand the book which got you banned in the first place, but once the ban was in effect and stood, there are protocols to be followed.
