John I understand how frustrating this is, my site was banned by Google from July 28th thru Sept 22. For almost that entire time I did nothing but try to figure out what went wrong and went so far as to split my best 40 pages off onto a new domain.

I'm not sure why my site reappeared in the index when it did, I had a few theories about things I might have done that caused it but in the end it appears to be pure caprice on the part of Google.

Google acts recklessly and without any regard to the suffering they cause, I am very angry with them and I regret I can't give you any answers because it appears that if I had done nothing at all the results would have been the same.

One thing I did learn was that using the same meta description on all your pages can hurt your ranking but I have no idea if that is what caused my site to be banned.

Perhaps you should try posting on one of the many other SEO-oriented forums which don't require any approval for posting a new thread. At the very least that may improve your attitude which I must agree is not helping you get any answers.
