Bans not as significant in Member Ranks as we think?
I came on to Bnet yesterday to find out I recieved a message from one of my many friends. The message was to tell me that he had been "promoted" to Heroic Member status, which greatly suprised both him and myself. He has had many bans, more than the both of us can remember, his most recent being about 2 months ago. His join date is mid-2005, and does have an attached GT. The only thing that I could see that would get him the title, other than the fact that his account is getting old, is that over the past month he has been posting more constructively than usual.
So if anyone out there has a potential explanation for this, it would be greatly appreciated.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Achronos 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.[/quote] Assuming that the effect of bans last longer than the bans themselves, how do the effects add up? Let's say, Johnny -blam!- trolls a bit, receives a three day, ten days after coming back, he receives a seven day-er. For examples sake, suppose a ban causes ten times the length of negative effects as the bans themselves. Since the first ban's effect hadn't expired yet, is the subsequent effect of the second ban added to the original thirty days, for a total of 100 days of justly received negative stats, or does it start on the issue date, for a total of eighty days (twenty days of overlap) with double+ the amount of negative effect during that overlap period? Just curious.
