Title: Where can I appeal against a temporary ban?
Post by: renegado on January 30, 2018, 03:23:39 PM
I receive a notification that I am banned from post and send message to the forum for 7 days. The reason is that I am, supposedly, spamming in the Press section. But none of my posts were deleted by the mods. In the last 4 days, I have only posted 4 times there and from respectful sources like Reuters, coindesk, and WSJ. And one from a Chinese website.

Is there any way that I could appeal against this ban or be explained where I have made something that it is against the rules?

I suspect that your best option is to ride it out for 7 days.

Have you read the posting rues for that board? They might give you an idea as to why you received a ban.

Could be the best option. But it is not the most fair and I would like to appeal to undestand the motive for the banning. If what I have posted was spam, I believe the mods would delete the post too. But none of my last posts was deleted.

Appeals take forever. 7 Days is nothing at all to wait out. Consider yourself lucky it could have been longer.

Advice while your banned: you should read the rules of the Forum Including the Stickies in each Sub Forum.

Can you link us your profile banned account so that we'll have some another idea why your account have been banned.

OP, this is what you’ll have to do before anybody can advise you on what, if anything you can do.

C&P a link to the account this is all about.

But I am asking where I could appeal. Is this the right place for this?

Yes. You're in the right place to appeal. No need to post or create another topic about your ban appeal. Just edit the original post (#1 post), add some detail of your account and that will be your ban appeal.

Forum rules:
25. Ban evasion (using or creating accounts while one of your accounts is banned) is not allowed.[e]

Examples:
25. If you get banned (temporary or permanently) and create a new account to continue posting / sending PMs, it's considered ban evasion. The only exception is creating a thread in Meta about your ban.

Q: Why was my account banned?
A: You probably have broken one of the rules. Try emailing a message to the specified appeal email shown in your ban message.

there you go, all listed in that sticky post in this Meta subforum. the exact step by step appeal process is never posted before
but if I may suggest, you'd better just undergo the ban... wait 7 days and don't repeat whatever you've done before
