valid Adding a Punishment Appeal subforum under the "Game Violations" section

[Aisha 282]

Well, it'll bring more fairness and justice for players who were punished unfairly, they'll be able to appeal their ban chats or blocks providing a solid evidence that they weren't rude to anyone. it'll also help Adminstrators' who gets messages about their punishments. so, to make it publicly. some people don't know about that they can private message Adminstrators' about their punishments. this will be the fairest way for them to get an answer for what did they get punished for and if its unfair punishment, it gets removed from logs.

The point of appealing to admins privately is to protect everyone's right for privacy - it's not nice nor it helps the overall atmosphere in the community if everyone's bans are known and gossiped around. Therefore, making a public section won't do. The other issue is that most players do not use nor visit forum at all, every banned player on the chat knows where to complain since mods are informing them every time they bring ban issue publicly + they have topic about it on Helpsite but majority simply don't wanna bother. 

 

The Administration will discuss pros and cons and see what might and if anything should be done. It can work if the section is pre-moderated, like this one, and each topic is available only to chat admins so they can review it and answer/make players notified afterwards, we'll see... 

 

Thanks for the suggestion :)

You answered it yourself in the second paragraph. it'll be pre-moderated, only seen by chat/forum adminstrators or adminstrators in-general. it'll be better since admins get spammed with things, so, they may forget one of the messages.

Admins answer all messages - so far, I answered over 20k messages, none skipped ;)

All good, it applies to some who reply lately or forget about the message. and it's an improvement after all, won't harm anything.

Only helper teams that can ban someone are chat, battle and forum moderators. So only admins in charge of those teams are in charge of bans and should be contacted. It's also pinpointed in the topic available on Helpsite.
