Ban is really however long until a GM can look at it (IE Sirken) and possibly talk to you.
I found I was banned one day earlier this year and put in a petition, it took 3 months to even find out what I was banned for. Apparently someone (Eliashib?), must have found my Lucan tracker Eliashibsux’s name offensive

Whatever you do don’t bump your petition thread or it goes to the bottom of the pile. Good luck man, you are definitely going to miss many more cycles. Once you are banned you placed in the bottom of the help bin, you are effectively in time-out.
