This topic has been opened by @YakubianPatmos for a specific purpose, already sorted out, and anything else (whether somehow related or not) is therefore off topic.
In the specific case, @YakubianPatmos himself/herself admitted that he/she was in violation of the rules, and it looks to me (based on information not publicly available) that he/she certainly was (for more than just a slur), and now he/she is not banned any longer anyway.
To be clear, this is not a case of someone being banned without any proper reason: the ban has been confirmed but reduced in length so that it has already expired, so there's nothing left to do here.
I'm locking this Topic.
(If anyone believes that anything else should be discussed, feel free to open a new topic.)
