Another user was banned for a week in chat. He made another account despite it being against the Terms of Use. He got another ban because the admins knew that he was bypassing a chat ban. His ban was extended. After a few more times it became a permanent block, which is when he started to appeal to his ban reasoning. The admins didn't like the user's actions and he remained blocked. The reason he was trying to come into chat was because he wanted to tell the mods that he made a mistake and he wanted to talk with them about the block. He remains permanently blocked because of the sock account trap.

A Chat ban is not effective on the main parts of the wiki (Talk pages/wall, etc). So he did have another option.
