Got banned from the YAAP TG group

Hey guys - got a lot to say about the banning in the YAAP telegram group but I rather wouldn't.

Just out of curiosity, is the ban a time based thing or is it permanent?

I was considering to upgrade from the OnePlus 7 Pro to a OnePlus 12 only because it has YAAP support but if the ban thing is permanent then I'll look around for another option or something.
