I am speaking on behalf of Hybrydmonster, elite MM, who was banned from TTG. I am talking to him on msn at the moment, since we are awesome friends. Here goes:
I and many old school elites think that hybryd should be unbanned. He was and still is the most trusted MM on black markets everywhere. He is admin and elite MM on rs2mm, hostile, and hostile V2. Hybryd has done many mm's(over 490M+!!!) and Allanon has done everything he can to get him unbanned, so there is nothing he can do. Please vote yes and pm Josetann until he unbans him. Quote from hybryd:
"Josetann, this is hybryd, I am sorry for the things I have said to you in the past, but I think that I should have a second chance on TTG, seeing is how there are countless scammers recreating accounts and stealing money, but one of the top elites gets banned for advertising? I think that it was a silly mistake and many people have left the forum because of the amount of scammers. Please give me a second chance."
Please give him a second chance Josetann... We all want him back, and it's unfair. Please vote yes everyone.

I moved this here so it'd be semi-private. Plus, it wasn't posted in a place that was even remotely appropriate (RuneScape For Sale/Wanted).
The ban is permanent, period. This is something you could have sent as a PM. Also, this board is not a democracy. I don't care if every single member who's ever signed up votes to let him back in, I'm the one who pays the server bill each month, spends time keeping the forum (and other parts of the site) running (linux needs updates and patches just like a windows machine), keeps the domain registered, etc.
If anyone wants hybryd back, just get your own domain, find a suitable forum package (most of the free ones are crap, ipb definitely isn't free), and get some hosting. If you want to advertise your new site here, Idle Chat is about the only place it's allowed. I tend to overlook site advertisement in signatures, unless they've spammed the forums or created a nuisance, then I filter out all mention of that site.

Your write Josetann...
This is your forum and you can run it how you want it. You would of never banned him if he didn't do anything wrong. I personally saw almost the whole front page of RS forsale/wanted spammed with hostile

I'd like him back but hes got to pay the price for all the advertising, if that wasnt the case we'd have an even worse scammer problem.

JOSETANN HAS SPOKEN.

Wow really? like that may be an option for him? I (and many others) could tell him anything you wanted him to know.

It was more of a half-joke. Advertising pays out anywhere from 4-5K a month, and we're only getting half of the money made (the ad companies keep the other half). So, he spammed the forum for probably a good week before I saw it and got fed up...figure in the low figure of 4K divided by 4 weeks in a month...so sure if he wants to pay a cool grand for the advertising he did, I guess we'd be cool.
I think we can all agree that no one would pay 1K just to be unbanned from a forum. If he did (no paypal, it'd be cash or money order only, and would have to give it plenty of time to clear, say two weeks), then I'll gladly let him back in, since he will have literally paid for his advertising.
So, yeah, it was a half-joke, probably wouldn't even bother mentioning it to him.
