If you are completely sure you want to be banned for a certain amount of time, it won't hurt to ask. You will need to email, however.

If Elcyrion is going to be participating in the bunny halocaust then I'm not safe anywhere.

I think I will just change my password to something weird, then once I decide I have been gone long enough I'll ask to have it changed back. It just seems easier that way.. now I just have to roleplay me being gone for a bit.
