Very well then. geodudedude, your ban and your lower amount of points are linked together. You were banned mainly for one reason, and that was badgering people to upvote you, often with promises of upvotes to them for doing so. This in spite of repeated warnings not to do so as well as a previous ban for the same exact thing.
We don't just make up rules without reason behind them. The Pokebase is a system that works based on upvoting. When a question is answered with a good, well thought out answer, that answer is then upvoted. The answer with the most votes is the one that the community considers to be the best answer to that question. These highest upvoted answers are the ones that will garner attention. Other people who have these same exact questions will be drawn to the question we have here. And they'll expect the highest upvoted answer to answer their question is a satisfactory manner. Now what happens when that system is disrupted and answers that don't deserve to be the highest upvoted answer become the highest upvoted manner? To be frank, the entire site ends up looking like it's full of pre-teens who don't know a lick about Pokemon. And these people will no longer end up using the site. This means that we might miss out on people who would have been of great benefit to the community. It for sure means that since they won't visit here again, Pokemaster loses out on ad revenue. I've commented before that many of your answers have poor grammar and spelling, poor formatting, and are just overall lacking. So if people are upvoting your stuff, that is the image we present to the rest of the internet.
You have shown yourself to be irresponsible when it comes to using your voting privileges. Now there might be the temptation to continue asking for upvotes. Don't worry, the moderators have made it easy on you. Until you have shown yourself to be a more responsible user, you will be prevented from having the points needed to vote.
Another aspect of your ban was your insistence on necro-posting. As for why necro-posting is bad, I believe I outlined that the last time I brought up the issue with you.
Hopefully you will actually listen to what I have to say and better yourself from it, rather than just brushing it off because it doesn't filter through the bubble which keeps out ideas that don't fit into your line of thinking.

@geo: The Swords Dance one was hidden through flags by the community because moveset questions are not allowed (the rules page makes this very clear). The Nasty Plot one was hidden by me for the same reason.
If have anymore questions, talk to me via my wall. Since I'm the one hid hit it, I think it'd be a more appropriate place to talk about it.
