Mixed rating

Can you get bumped playing only mixed? There is a guy in my area who was rated 4.5 and hasn’t played men’s league since 2015 and has only played 8.0 mixed. He was bumped to 5.0. None of his matches were blow outs and were fairly close.

Lol...I answered my own question with my explanation but what I mean is how would a 4.5 with a mixed rating get bumped to 5.0 if they aren’t blowing people out
It isn't required to blow people out to get improve your rating and/or get bumped up. You simply have to do better in your matches than the computer expects, and that is based on not just the score but the ratings of the other players in the match. So he could have partnered with weak players and played against high rated opponents and that could do it.

If the 5.0M decides to play in the 5.0 or 4.5+ men’s league, is he under the 3 strike rule like a 5.0A?

a M rated player is not allowed to join a regular 5.0 or 4.5+ mens league. If a M rated player wants to play a regular 5.0 or 4.5+ mens league they must SELF rate. Thus, vulnerable to 3 strikes.
 
I think I know the answer but would like confirmation.

The person is a 4.0C;
-Goes 3-1 in 4.0, 2-4 in 7.0; gets bumped to 4.5C
-Rating appeal is granted and is now a 4.0A

The following year as a 4.0A;
-Goes 0-2 in 4.0 and 3-1 in 8.0; gets bumped to 4.5M

The person cannot appeal because the person was already playing with an appealed rating before getting bumped, correct?

I don't believe that is correct. I have seen players appeal down in consecutive years.
