This isn't equivalent to revive someone who died. More in the sense who do you think had a good impact on the community. However, in many cases we don't know the reasons why someone was banned. Someone could be a creep in private messages while at the same time present themselves as a good and kind member on the public forum. There is someone I am thinking about who did somethling like that. I am not sure whether this person was actually banned but the person was exposed and I think the person didn't come to the forum because of this.

I think overall @Chinaski had a good impact on the community. He was a controversial member though. But I liked his stances in favor of trans people, in favor of women and against incels. Moreover, we (and some others) argumented that the pro-mortalists on this forum should be constrained in forcing their ideology to others on here.

I think though chinaski had probably a lot warnings. And in some of his posts he was quite rude. I am not 100% certain what happened so he got banned. Maybe he told someone to kill themselves in an argument. Which fully justifies getting banned because this is a red line. I would hope for a different time line though where this didn't happen. Or he could apologize to the other person and promise to never do this again. Even though, I think apologizing wasn't something he was good in. I think though he would never want someone on here to actually commit suicide. I think he did a lot of good by challeging the dominance of pro-mortalists on here. And at the start he was pretty contrarian and alone in doing that. He contributed to the fact that this forum isn't a pro-death echo chamber.

What do you think?

@Ambivalent1 was the first member that came to mind but I'm pretty sure there's at least one other I just can't recall now. I don't know if he had a good impact on the community per se but I liked his posts. That said I don't really know why he got banned.

A lot of members are newbies, including me; most people can only go with who they interacted most.

I think some of his threads crossed boundaries like the following. Okay I cannot find it anymore. Maybe it was deleted because I criticized it earlier. But he asked something like whether you would like to go voluntarily to a concentration camp if the Nazis came into power.

I doubt this was the sole reason for his ban though.
