I checked my watch, then my sundial, and finally my calendar.  All said check back after beard has grown 6 additional inches.

I have no idea if you will ever be un-banned, but it certainly not going to happen in 2014.  I doubt seriously it will happen in 2015.

You do realize that most of the kernel devs do it both for a living and out of sheer love of the work.  Your participation the last few months impacted both in a negative way.  I've never heard of anyone being banned before, so you are novel.  None of us how long the blackball will stay in place, maybe forever.
