Has anyone managed to convince Google to re-activate an account or can anyone suggest an approach to getting Google to let me back into the program?
it is very frustrating --- i mean it would be different if i was trying to rip them off --- but it's quite the opposite. A completely genuiine error that i'm sure many first time AdSense members must have stumbled over.
The other thing I wonder is if they are more concerned if the clicks are high cost clicks.
but another possibility is that, as i was acting as webmaster to a client [the actual owner of the domain]and he may well have clicked ads, which google deemed illegal. it is possible. it's something i need to check up on.
it certainly raises a point that webmasters should inform clients, whom they maybe acting on behalf of, not to allow anyone to click links, from their own PC, for fear of being deemed fraudulent by association with the domain.
I feel that as an adwords publisher, you almost have to educate people who use your site on a daily basis on not clicking the ads too often (or if they do, they darn well better buy something sometimes).
Have any of you had to do something similar?

Hmmm, that would make more sense. It will be interesting to hear what you find out from your client.
Depending on the relationship between you and what exactly happened, they may have been harmed by your actions, or you may have been harmed by their actions. And Google isn't likely to give you any help sorting it out.
So better leave this worry. Just go for some other ads like bidclix for only that domain.
Get some other domain and get google adsense . Don't hide anything like your real name and address. Just apply they will approve and enjoy your life.
Infuture : You can add the adsense code of second account in the first domain and wait thether google is objecting or not. Most probably they won't object thinking that first website is a rejected one. If at all they think negatively they will tell you to remove your code from that domain only. THEY WILL NEVER DISABLE YOUR ACCOUNT FOR PUTTING YOUR SECOND ACCOUNT CODE IN YOUR FIRST DOMAIN PAGE.

When an account is suspended, all domains that ran AdSense on that account have a manual block placed on the domain. If you used AdSense on 15 different domains and the account was suspended, all 15 domains will be blocked from running AdSense in the future. This block is also placed on all sites that have applied to AdSense but were rejected. This means you can place the AdSense code on the site, but all you will ever see is a blank space where the ads should appear. The domain will not show ads/PSAs/altads until Google AdSense manually lifts the block.

Yes, they can, they will and they have done so.

More than one person has applied for another AdSense account after being suspended, but even one detail that matches is enough for them to reject subsequent applications. This includes name, mailing address, domains, contact information, tax information, and even IP address. So using the same name and address is an automatic rejection, unless it falls through the cracks somewhere - one person did manage to slip through the cracks, but was then suspended two days later because his account was associated with a previously suspended account.
A better reason: Emails to and fro costs money. By automating IPs to receive "test" clicks, you cut out an excuse. Every excuse you eliminate saves you transaction money.
I can see one issue: not everyone has a static IP, and they'll probably get idiots who enter their current IP, and then merrily click their own ads later thinking they're safe
How about this: If a user logs in to check his numbers a few times in a row from the same IP, offer him the option of putting that IP on a list of "test" IPs?
