Hey Kauffner,
I'm sorry that being taking time away from Wikipedia coincided with (and arguably contributed to) you getting banned. If it ever came to a community discussion again, I would support your un-banning -- I think you were and could still be a massive net positive for the encyclopedia.
I sincerely wish you all the best with this appeal, but I have to tell you I think it's pretty much no chance of them reversing their ban. I haven't
dealt with ArbCom in depth before, but my understanding with these appeals is that they don't actually *want* to go over the old case/decision/whatever and if they think you're rehashing it they'll give you short shrift, as they did before. What they want is for the person to pretty come grovelling and say "I messed up really badly, I'm so sorry, I've learnt my lesson, please give me another chance". Which is of course problematic when the person appealing should not have been banned in the first place, but yeah -- that's how I think it is and I don't see it
changing in the near future.
So if you want my advice on how to make a successful appeal it would be to apologise profusely, ask for another chance and say something about how you'd be willing to accept a topic ban from diacritics.
But I can understand if you would rather not pretend to be apologetic and accept restrictions just to edit Wikipedia again. Up to you.
All the best,
Jenks
