Looking for a partial demo/cut

Is there any way someone could actually get unbanned from Football Manager after 15 years? Just wondering if anyone knows. thanks

After fifteen years of this 🤣

Leave it alone. Just leave it be. Thank you.

Just leave everything alone, thanks.

And how long am I banned for? Like, why wouldn't they just kick me off the site entirely?

The partial bans are essentially permanent, or at least indefinite. If they decide to lift one, it’s really up to the discretion of the admins; they usually only go that route if they feel confident that whatever old issues caused the ban won't start bubbling up again. Which brings us right to your next point:

Honestly, you should probably rephrase that to "Why *should* my ban be lifted?" That's the real question here, and it's one where you need to convince the moderators that the behavior leading to the ban is a thing of the past. Try explaining what's changed about how you participate in the community and why you think you deserve to get back into the soccer PDF section.🙂

The way you phrased that is a bit off. It should really be, "Why should I have my partial ban lifted?" That’s the question you actually need to answer. You have to convince the moderators that whatever behavior caused the initial trouble is a thing of the past. Try explaining how your posting style has changed and why you think you deserve access back to the soccer PDF section.🙂

I mean, I personally feel like the ban should be lifted because I'm mostly just here to read anyway. If I do end up posting, I'll make sure I'm keeping things civil and acting normal...

My bad for the half-baked explanation, but honestly—anyone can read pretty much the entire forum (except for the mod corner) even if they're permanently banned or just lurking without an account.

Unless this place operates differently than most other boards out there, that's just how it goes.

Unless there’s some weird rule here that makes us different from most other boards out there.

I mean, does it really make sense for you to be scrolling through one subforum and then having to log out just to check out another one?👍

Nah, it’s probably better to just open a different browser 👍

thanks for the advice...

Alright, it's done. Now we can finally let it simmer. 😁

Anyone got an answer for this?
