I will agree with you on the concept. I'm a Veteran with no added member title due to my 1 and only ban which happend in Dec. 2009. It was a 5 or 3 day ban, I can't remember.
How long does it take to "shake" away a ban in your history. It's months, not weeks or days. I'm thinking the length of time which prevents your member title from advancing is as follows:
3-day ban: 3 months
7-day ban: 7 months
etc.
You HAVE to "do your time" until you advance your member title up. Activity during this waiting period is important I suppose, even though I have been here for 4 years, once the ban wears off, I won't automatically go to Mythic. Of course your trust points are obviously still counted during this time, however their impact will not be felt until the ban history wears off.
I don't think it works this way.
I think the time since your last ban increases your trust. It'd all fit into an equation.
something like:
All other factors/(number of bans/time since last ban)
This way the factor of the bans that decreases your trust will slowly lower therefore increasing your trust.
I'm not saying it's exactly like this, it's just probably something similar. I don't think the time of the ban itself effects the possibility of a rankup. If your trust remains over a certain level, you will gain your new rank. If it goes below that level, you will lose it. (Although there have been very few "higher ranking" accounts banned, so it's difficult to really test this). The recentness of the ban significantly decreases your trust, though.
Yea, that makes sense. It's still all a big mystery, but we're trying to make sense of it one way or another.
