Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if my appeal is denied?

If your appeal is denied, the original punishment (ban, blacklist, warning, strike, or staff removal) remains in effect. For most infractions, you may submit another appeal after the appropriate cooldown period.

Can I appeal multiple infractions at once?

Each infraction must be appealed separately. This ensures that each case is given proper consideration by our moderation team.

What should I include in my appeal?

Your appeal should include your username, the date of the infraction, a detailed explanation of the situation, and why you believe the decision should be reconsidered. Be honest and respectful.

How long does the appeal process take?

Most appeals are processed within 48-72 hours, though complex cases may take longer. We appreciate your patience during this process.

What types of appeals can I submit?

You can appeal various types of punishments including bans, blacklists, warnings, strikes, and staff removals. Each type of appeal has its own specific requirements and cooldown periods.
