Any reports of the ban appeal working?

[Roxabox]

So it's been over a week now since the first huge ban wave and I'm curious if anyone knows of anyone who has had their account restored by using the ban appeal form? It's been almost a week since I've submitted mine and I have not received a response yet and my account is still "Unable to authenticate." Just trying to see if there is any hope out there for us sinners.

Had a legit account banned today. Filled out the appeal and it was unbanned within 45-60 minutes. So if it's a truly legit account then you shouldn't have too many worries.
