Ban Appeals
A public appeal form for banned members, plus a staff review queue to approve or deny each submission.
On this page
Overview
Ban Appeals gives banned members a way to request reinstatement through a customizable public form, instead of relying on DMs or alt accounts to reach staff.
The form builder supports short text, long text, select-menu, and checkbox fields, and can require the member to supply their ban ID or confirm they've read the rules before submitting.
Every submission lands in a staff review queue where moderators can approve or deny it with an internal note, and a cooldown prevents the same member from spamming repeat appeals.
