Each time you check the first page of meta, you will find a bunch of post regarding appeal for banned account. Well, as per the rules, people do have the rights to appeal. But, as per rules if someone is banned for a valid reason, he/she will not be banned unless it is temporary.
Meta is the only place where people able to appeal for their banned account. The problem as you already mentioned the number of appeals. Sometimes its really annoying to see a bunch of appeal threads in a row. Members in the forum already discussed several solutions to minimize those appeals in the Meta and nobody (people who have the authority) seems to like to see any changes sooner.

Re: Sub/Child board for Account Issues In addition with appeal, people also ask for a reason why he/she got banned. If the user can get a valid reason behind his/her ban, he/she might not be encouraged to post here.
I doubted about that. Most of them already know what they are dealing with and they don't care about the rules. I also agreed with @iasenko, Plagiarism is the main reason and i'm hoping theymos will highlight that in his new welcome message.
BTW this is what i think as more practical solutions, but anyone wouldn't interested at all
