Bans happen.
It is part of the maturing process here on Bnet. Almost everybody gets a ban or two during their tenure, myself including. You have two choices, either you suck it up, learn from your mistakes and become a better member or you don't. I chose the former rather than the latter.
The history serves an important roll for moderation, other than that it shouldn't be an concern for anybody else. If you're worried a ban or two will somehow ruin your standing in the community or will keep you from being a mythic member, you are needlessly worrying. Spend your energy doing something else. As I said before, I've been banned, have a look,

Do not reply to spam.
I learned from my mistakes and improved how I posted, how I contributed, and what I replied to. I suggest you stop worrying about the past and start spend your energy making your future better.The fact that you became a moderator after all that just shows how flawed the selection process is and that it's all about hanging with the right crowd, give or take a few rare exceptions.
And it's not even about you because for all I know you could very well be the best member on this site, which you obviously arent since you couldnt grasp the most straightforward rules without getting banned first. However, it's a slap in the face of those who have been here longer, are more active and have followed the rules.
