To anyone out there who has been banned from the WoW forums: I've been lifetime banned twice - once was on the old forums, but they pardoned everyone when they transitioned to the new ones, and one was a year and a half ago on the new forums, for something pretty trivial but I won't get into it.
Anyway, one year and a half later I petitioned them, and got my answer this morning, so don't despair, and good luck:

Subject: Forum ban appeal
Hello,
I'm writing to you to appeal my permanent forum ban from the World of Warcraft forums. The last message I posted went out of line as I tend to do sometimes, but if the ban were lifted I would refrain hereon to ever break the forum discussion rules again.
I am a 6 year WoW player and I know many people throughout the game, and I would like to be able to discuss with them on the forums and do pertain in other World of Warcraft related discussions again.
Thank you"
