I agree. I see thoughtful posts from hellbanned users and wish there was a way to help them restore full posting status. When looking through their post history, it looks like one post that the community didn't like was enough to get them hellbanned and there's no recourse once it happens.

Hellbanned users can create a new account. Sometimes hellbanned users can write a short email to PG, with a link to the post the triggered the hell ban, and ask for an unban. (If it appears to be a mistaken ban.)

  But only if they are aware of it. That's kinda the point here. It's not a regular ban, so you don't know.

    That's why it's important to have contact details in your profile. People who see someone who has been unfairly hellbanned send email to let them know.
