Honestly, EmpyreanSmoke, it's impossible for us to tell what your intentions were and if you had truly done the things evidence suggests that you did. The way things stack up make you look very guilty. At the same time, though, there isn't solid proof; there is a good chance that you are telling the truth. It is a little odd that your cousins made accounts and voted for you but that they haven't come to support your side of the story yet. Might I request that you ask both of them to post their versions of events to back you up? It could also help your case tremendously if you asked them to use separate computers and to post on this blog on their individual accounts at the same time (if you were posting at the same time on a third computer, it would strengthen your case even more) to prove that there are indeed multiple people involved.

Like Twilight Despair, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, as -- to my knowledge -- you've never done anything like this before. You have always seemed very earnest and genuine in your desire to better the wiki. Once your ban is lifted, I'll treat you the same I would any user. However, given current circumstances, I do not think you should return as an admin once you do return, but rather give up your rights -- if they haven't already been taken away -- and be demoted to a regular user to prove your good intentions to everyone. If you can earn back the community's trust after awhile, you might be able to get your admin rights back.
