When to make a ban appeal

Before even thinking about making a ban appeal, ask yourself these questions:

- Did you break any of the rules?
- Did you grief another players work?
- Did you swear excessively?
- Did you upset an operator or cause general disrespect to other members/players on the server?
- Did you draw hateful symbols or say hateful remarks?

If the answer to any of these questions is Yes, definitely, then your chances of creating a successful ban appeal is severely hindered.

If you truly believe your ban was:

1) Not warranted
2) Not appropriate
3) Handled badly by an operator
4) Not correctly entered (sometimes an operator will mistype the ban command and accidentally make a ban permanent)
5) A miscommunication

or any other potentially valid scenario, you should make a Ban Appeal. Do note that we are not robots; sometimes mistakes happen, and we will be sympathetic in dealing with your appeal.

What NOT to do in a ban appeal topic

• Post while angry. Simply don't do it. You will look stupid, and you will not be unbanned. Abusive language does not make us want to unban you. Calm, well-reasoned posts are the key to being unbanned in a timely manner.
  
• Please do not post More Than One appeal per user per ban. Multiples will be deleted, and you will lower your chances of a successful appeal.
• Do not hijack other user's threads (posting in an already active appeal). The person who opened up the appeal is the one that uses that thread, so don't solicit in other's appeals unless you are DIRECTLY involved in that appeal.

How to format your ban appeal

• Your topic title should contain the name of the operator that banned you (if known) and your Creative username, preferrably in the format "[cschurz] RandomUser123 Appeal".

Your post should also contain:

• All relevant circumstances surrounding your ban. Help us help you. If you leave it up to the memory of the operator to remember what happened and don't provide your side of the story, you shouldn't expect to be unbanned.
• Why you think you should be unbanned

There is no strict guideline for what your ban appeal shound contain besides the link to the ban information page. Show us that you can be reasonable, and you may be unbanned.
