You can still make an unban application but it will be handled by a different staff member. Just be cautious that it might take a bit more as it is his appeal and not our but we still try to do it as quick as possible.
Just because a staff member is no longer with us (R.I.P. Loaf) doesn't mean that breaking the rules and being punished by that staff member will be overlooked. They did their job and their job still applies to players, even after they are no longer in our ranks. It's like saying as soon as Donald Trump gets out of office, everything they did from their time as president is now false.
