Q:

Will correcting other users' questions remove my question ban?

After the question ban I have had during these days, I tried editing questions (not my own) and gained some reputation.
Will it have any effect on removing the question ban?
Please don't mention editing my own questions. I know that and that has had quite a contrary effect so far.

A:

Gaining reputation (overall) will help expedite lifting of the block. We don't reveal the algorithms directly because doing so would cause folks to focus on the wrong stuff, but a main theme in all of them (there are multiple, including the one that tried to slow you down for a few days) is your average question score over time; that's what makes them very difficult to game, and sometimes escape in extreme cases. 
The system does acknowledge any attempt you make at editing your own questions and it reflects favorably when evaluating some of the blocks. So if a question is on-topic and can be salvaged, the fact that you tried to edit will work in your favor, though it frequently won't be enough by itself to push you over the threshold. You do need some upvotes, and upvotes that the system deems suspicious won't be counted (some of us should really design video games). 
I checked, and you're not blocked any longer but you're right at the edge. Try to make your next question really count, and you should be out of the woods for good.
