Without the actual username, it is impossible to tell. But ranks are assigned based on where your trust rating falls within the range of possible trust ratings for that day. Bans affect trust by applying a negative influence for a period of time after the ban takes place. The amount of that influence and the length of it are directly proportional to the severity (length) of the ban.
So, basically, if he got a few short bans, it is easily possible for you to get back into positive status after a sufficient amount of time. But, again, without the login name of the account, I can't do anything other than speculate.Achronos could you have a look at my trust rating please? IMy brother and I share a computer (he is L3W15 7) unfortunately for me he got a 2 week ban and so the soul sends me a lovely PM about using an alt account to bypass a blacklist. I PM recon Number 54 and he reduces the ban to the time when my brother's expires as a favor (which I am most grateful of) however after this unfair (1 day ban) I am demoted from Heroic status to Member after having the title for about a month and being a good member throughout this time.
Due to this I think bans have a HUGE impact on the trust system unless that one ban mounted on top of others way before and was enough to push me over the edge. What are everyone's thoughts on this?
Thanks,
