Maybe make a community poll on TL.net on their policy and get TL to change their stance on letting banned users play in TL opens too? (Which is sponsored by teamspeak, and im certain its not team speak deciding the ban issue) We can also get a good idea on their rationale why and more perspectives from a much wider audience/community.
Bans like this have always been something not everyone has agreed with, from the dimaga bans for win trading that was extended to TSL#3 (a completely different game) to the idra forum bans when idra did something not even on the TL fourms.
Idra asked his twitter followers to spam a mod I believe, and some cruncher incident - and he got banned on TL for his actions, as obviously TL did not want to encourage this type of behaviour, regardless of the players skill level / fan base so they took this stance.
