Mudar,

You might not like the REAL answer.  The same reason SAUPM00 remains
banned with the EXCEPTION of the users whom their Node Admin. approves,
I would guess is the reason why your node remains banned.

It is called *USER ACCOUNTABILITY*.

This means:

o  the owner of the userid accessing RELAY takes responsibility
   for the actions of whomever is using the account on RELAY.

o  being able to verify that the user is correctly registered.

The continual practice of account sharing/multiple accounts precludes the
prior conditions, so I would guess your node will not be allowed access,
until some way of verifying/maintaining user accountability is devised.

sincerely,
