I made the same mistake, and even @spaminator is downvoting me. Of course I did not spammed and I will not spam.
My account is also 4 years old (I registered on 2017.05.17).
I apologized 17 days ago (they accepted it), and so 17 days passed from my 30 days appeal time. Hopefully everything will be good, and they stop downvoting me, when the 30 days passes.
If this will be the case, then this is indeed for the good of all of us.
