I guess so xD but the way I mentioned is kinda more controlled. 'Cause, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there is a set amount of time a banned player (specifically a perma-banned player) has to wait until their appeal has a good chance of being accepted. Like with my example, I waited a month and nothing happened. I forgot if I applied a few months later but overall I waited almost 9 months I believe but for all I know it would have been safe to write up an appeal 3 months earlier. Though the fact I didn't know when I could appeal with a good chance also drove me away from the game. I only came back because I got bored of Battlefield 4 lol.
