Your position is .. you're a 7 post newbie. Unless you apply directly to an admin to plead your case for reinstatement of your old acc't, it's not gonna happen. As for needing admin capabilities ... you wish. My first day back from sabbatical, I saw your new name on the userlist and instantly made the connection. Didn't need anything else. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.
As for reinstatement, I renounced my position the day I canned your ass. I remember every detail of the event. If any staffer needs a refresher, I'd can oblige ... if need be. As for second chances ... you're already on it, having been identified as a Banned member and not instantly canned.
