Narmac and Chicagoest,
Re-instatement requests are handled by Agoracom admin, not by hub leaders. Perhaps Agoracom admin will give such a request special consideration, given that he was a formed hub leader here. However, the could go either way since experienced former hub leaders cannot claim ignorance of the rules that they once enforced.
Those interested in such a request can submit an inquiry on this page, or email to administrator@agoracom.com. I do not plan on making any such request myself, but would not object to any such effort by others. I would also not object to stepping down as a hub leader if my record as hub leader is not up to par with the expectations of the board. This is not my board, I am just a willing volunteer hub leader.
