how much does it cost to recover a banned account?
Can you tell the forum the reason the account was banned?
This will enable us to tell you your chances of getting unbanned, so that you won't stress yourself creating new account and paying an evil fee if applicable.
What is the rank of the banned account?
This will enable the users guess if you have contributed positively to the forum that will Foster your unban.
What kind of ban, temporary or permanent ban?
And it seems the banned account is a newbie account, because if you have been around, it is rare that you wouldn't know where ban appeals are created.
Note: If your ban appeal is declined, you are not expected to create another account and continue using the forum.
Goodluck!
