> @MartinSleziak - I forgot to ask you - can I request restoration of my "question-capable" status at some point in the future, or are such bans permanent at MO ?

Help Center, What can I do when getting “We are no longer accepting questions/answers from this account”? and How does Stack Exchange attempt to prevent low-quality questions and answers?
So the short answer to your question is - you should read what help center and FAQ have to say about this. This can probably give you much better information than I can.
The longer answer would be: I do not think it is easy to get out of question ban, but it is possible.
Personally I remember two cases when a user managed to get out of question ban. One of them was mentioned directly in this chatroom and the other one was on meta: I have been banned from asking questions, what should I do?
Your situation is rather specific, but general idea is: If a user is in a question ban, what they can do is to try to edit old questions - in case they get undeleted/reopened or they get some upvotes, it is possible that the user get out of question ban.
A rather experienced user (he was mod at the time) said to me that such bans are almost always temporary:

@MartinSleziak Getting out-right bans is still as difficult as ever. I have a feeling that most of the "I'm banned!" questions on meta are actually about temporarily question blocks. Unfortunately I don't have much data to back this up (while whether or not a user is currently blocked from asking questions is visible to moderators, the reason/severity of this block is not). The most recent such meta-question by Charlie to almost certainly is about a temporary block, and not an outright ban.
Another moderator mentions in this answer: If banned from asking questions, can I still answer questions?
> Question-bans and answer-bans are almost independent (good answers can help to some extent to lift or avoid a question-ban and vice versa, but the greatest role is played by the posts of the affected type).

@AlexM. I have posted a question about this on Mathematics Meta: Are comments which respond to another comment deleted by single flag? Feel free to ping me here or in chat if I have misrepresented something or if you prefer to ask the question there yourself. — Martin Sleziak 14 secs ago
