I guess that, if anything, shows that if you can prove you have changed, and are now a helpful and useful member, you will be given the appropriate rank.

Changed ? If you were banned yes and of course the reason why counts as well, if not that doesn't apply to you.

Helpful and useful, I agree... But depends on how the relationships with the people you've helped in the past went. There a tons of people I've helped and got back stabbed or some I been friends with for years that suddenly act like they've never known you or you've never done anything for them beneficial. There is a difference between "freeloading" and taking everything you can get verses asking or needing help in a legit way. Being "Useful" is like telling someone if you have nothing to offer me, your just a troll or ignored. All irrelevant to a degree.
