Without me, it's just "Aweso".

Those of you who know my story will understand, but to those who do not:
I used to be a bad person who got banned a ton. I created my first account, Thatairsoftkid, in early October. I created ImTheRealTASK later after my first account was hacked. Being the bad person, I got banned a bit.
Towards Septemberish I started becoming more addicted to Bnet and started to be nicer on the main forums. I created this account in late October.
Around the beginning of 2009, I was a nublet and got banned on this account. Shortly after, someone was stealing Microsoft points (Offering to sell accounts, then stealing MSP.) from people on the H3F. I was banned as he was doing it. I tricked him into revealing to me that he was stealing accounts via AIM, screencapped it, then got on alts and posted the info . . . while banned. There were no mods online until about 30 minutes after I posted the info.
I was banned on this account for avoiding a ban and banned on the two accounts I used until 2070something. (Two accounts were Needlernoob69 and ImTheRealTASK.)
So I should have 2 near-permabans on this account's record, as well as a few regular bans.
Almost a year later, I'm a Fabled Heroic? It's nice to know, as I certainly have changed, but I assumed the system would have falcon-punched my for eternity for having 2 accounts with near-permabans, as well as a few bans/warnings.
Just thought it was an odd story title bar wise.
I'm pretty sure getting banned is like taking away the system's trust in you for a set amount of time which lasts much longer than your ban. When that time passes, all of the points that had been "Taken" because of the ban begin returning, and are added to the points you've accumulated since your ban wore off. This could be why there are a lot of cases where people suddenly go from members to Heroics or Legendaries.
