So has your situation been voted on? Sitting things out for awhile (a couple weeks to a month) is a good idea just for cool down.

It might help to try to call out individual instances where you knew you were a jerk and apologize to the parties involved whether they were admins or not. Sincerity can help your cause. As a long time admin, sometimes I just wouldn't want to deal with a permabanned user for awhile, but I happen to be less likely to permaban a productive contributor and more likely to try to arrange a probation period and a set of rules for return.

I was actually brought in by FANDOM staff to one wiki to try to rehabilitate a problematic, but highly active and productive user and I can generally say I succeeded. However, managing these situations is not a skill every admin has.
