Q:

Blacklisted / banned from StackOverflow?

What can I do when getting “Sorry, we are no longer accepting questions/answers from this account”? 

Hey guys I'm getting this error message when trying to post a question: 
Sorry, we are no longer accepting questions from this account. 
See goo.gl/C1Kwu to learn more.

The thing is, I only have two questions in the negative which is why I think this ban is automatic and not a manual ban given to me by a user.
On of the -3 question, I asked a legitimate issue I had trying to learn about MySQL foreign key relationships. I showed what I tried, what I thought might work but didn't, and finally what error message I got. A good question, following the standard given in Jon Skeet's how to ask a question post.
On the other -3 question, I was downvoted again 3 times because it wasn't a "real question". I think it is a legitimate question because it's clear, concise and answerable. People just shouting "read the OpenGraph docs" aren't really helpful. Of course the screenshot is using the OpenGraph API, but I wanted to know what part of the API specifically referred to that functionality. Simple, short and answerable.
So those are the two offending questions I assume caused my auto-ban.
I thought the system would also weigh in the fact that I also answer questions and received upvotes on them, actually contributing to the site instead of just leeching.

How can I get unbanned?

A:

By every metric I can see, you're not currently blocked from posting questions.
So... congrats? :)
That said, your interpretation of "The only way for the ban to be lifted is for you to convince the community that they should give you another chance..." is somewhat literal. The idea, really, is to make edits to your posts and get the community to review them again that way (since every edit effectively bumps the question).
Either way, this approach clearly worked out for you. Enjoy, and keep the tips from that meta post as well as the How to Ask page to avoid getting blocked again in the future.
