I'm trying to help you. You haven't been "banned"... how on earth do you think you wrote this post? How do you think you're reading the replies? Not only are you not banned, you still have a reasonably high rep and are easily visible. Saying you're "banned" is some pretty hysterical hyperbole
If you really want to keep this account:
You took somebody else's work (the newsletter) and posted it to the blockchain as though it was yours. Prominent stake holders/influencers determined that to be an inappropriate use of community resources
Obviously it's embarassing to to admit wrong-doing and apologize on the blockchain, but it's on the blockchain that you posted someone else's content and expected the community to grant you resources for that effort (I'm assuming the requirement to post original content for 42 days isn't the embarrassing or difficult part, but do correct me if I'm wrong)
Rallying stake behind you is your other option, and you're obviously working on that now. It's a rougher road, but ultimately it might work out better for you
However it goes, I wish you luck
Thank you, @foxon, for your advice.
I’ve been blacklisted which affects my reputation, visibility & earnings every time I post (I said I was banned from discord channel & posted picture to prove it).
Producing original content for 42 days should not be a problem, I’ve done it for over a thousand days on this platform & Steemit & throughout 8 books in my career:

Groveling and needless humiliation is what I object to.
"Groveling and needless humiliation" = Admitting to wrongdoing and apologizing?
The volume of original content you have should make all this a quick and easy breeze. A post that says "In my younger moons, I thought it would be a good idea to repost a newsletter to the blockchain.... youth, right? As I grew in the ecosystem I came to understand the value of blah blah blah. Posting those newsletters is regretful today. It's not something I think is appropriate - you should expect some of the brainsplosion good stuff from me"
Is that really humiliation and groveling?
Now I have to see how it goes... so at least you got a follow out of all this? haha. Good luck!
@foxon, I wanted to thank you, for your support and apologize for being testy, yesterday... This morning, the team wrote to let me know that I was being "unbanned" and blacklist removed. Here's to second chances & new beginnings :)
Hooray!
Stoked to see it getting fixed in the best of ways
What can I say, I'm a lucky boy :) Takeaway: it's best to swallow pride and just get back to work! Thanks, again, for being there.✌️
Yer funny, thanks, for the comic relief ;)
I admitted & apologized to Hivewatcher.
The End.
It's a shame you have to admit doing wrong doing for using a free speech platform. I don't support you being removed from these idiot's blacklist, I support these idiots being removed from Hive.
