This thread is interesting as it brings out the crux of the issues surrounding my ban as it stands now:

1. How long was my ban? One year.

2. How often could I appeal? As often as I wanted after my ban was half way. There is no limitation to frequency of appeals and the words "six months" are no where to be found.

3. What does probation mean? It does not mean being banned. Probation, by definition, means release with restrictions. However, SirFozzie is trying to use these clear statements about probation to say that I can have my ban extended, when that is not the case.


From Ncmvocalist: "The ban is only "extended" if Ottava does not agree to comply with the probationary terms."

Funny, because there were no terms offered. I was quite willing to agree to any and all terms. If a criminal gets probation and the judge fails to set terms of the probation, the criminal does not go to jail but is free without restriction.

You'd think Newyorkbrad and the other lawyers who sit on ArbCom would notice this as they have to deal with such things such as the meaning of probation.

I emailed ArbCom to discuss terms of my probation. ArbCom did not offer any. That is their fault, and a clear refusal for them to restrict me. As far as I am concerned and as those of many admin and Stewards, once my one year time is up I am no longer banned and if the Arbitrators don't to restrict me then that is their problem.
