Unfortunately, all of the ban appeal attempts in this section will fail. Modz has 100% accuracy when they ban an account! This is the only way OP that we could help the admin to resolve some issue for the ban appeal of some users in this forum. But, for those locked accounts then I cannot comment a post for this time.
I'm afraid to say that
you're wrong. Because I have been banned by a Global Mod mistakenly when I was a member and unbanned with an apology. They are also humans and I can't imagine how much workload they got assigned with the limited number of available Global Mods.
The rules can be amended. Besides, they're 'unofficial' and I don't think anyone is trying to prohibit users protesting or appealing completely, but rather to limit the number that are needlessly doing it and also clogging up Meta in the process. If the way bans are issued changes and the reason is stated then users won't need to create a new account to ask why they're banned as they'll know. Some will still inevitably protest but people are proposing it should just be in a separate 'ban issues' subboard.
Totally agreed. I also created a
thread regarding this separate sub-forum for ban appeals but most of the members wouldn't agree with my suggestion. It is not a big deal to show the reason for their ban if we think about the number of useless threads. If the admin wouldn't agree to start a separate sub-board it is better to increase the number of Global Mods to investigate the appeals/hacked account requests quickly.
