The Appeals and Queries forum was added to give the members a chance to converse CALMLY and in private with the mods about infractions and bans that may seem unclear and unfair as well as just asking simple questions like 'How do I underline my posts?' 'What is BB Code?' ETC.
Lately however, members have been using the Appeals forum to whine and bitch and generally abuse both us and other members and we are sick of it. The Appeals forum is a privelage not a right and we take time out of our day to do our best to answer all queries and grievances, we will not put up with this behavior anymore. Here's some tips and things to consider before making an appeals thread.
1. If you're making a thread to contest a ban or an infraction take some time to consider why you were infracted, 99% of the time our infractions are just. You may think that the mods are against you but chances are you done goofed and reflecting on this may change your mind about wasting your time and ours.
2. Polite threads will always get answered fully, rude threads will most likely get a short answer and will be swiftly locked. To put in frankly, if you're gonna act like a bitch you're gonna get treated like a bitch.
3. Never make a thread that's primarily about another member IE 'WHY DIDN'T ROY GET INFRACTED TOO?!' or 'I GOT BANNED BUT KATE DIDN'T?! BIAST!!!!!!21"!'. The Appeals section is for discussing things primarily related to you or to the forum, we will not engage in discussion about other members.
4. Allow some time for a mod to respond, we are not surgically attached to our computers. Sometimes we will not have the tiem to answer a question properly or there may not be anyone online at the time. Don't wait two seconds and spam the forum, sometimes it may take us a few hours to get back to you.
5. Misuse of the Appeals forum will be punished harshly but don't let that put you off posting there if you have a question to ask, like I said before polite and reasonable threads will always be given time. Just don't act like a damn fool.
6. Warnings are just simply warnings, please don't bother appealing them unless they are a blatant mistake.
So yeah, stop acting like messes or bitches gon' get banned. I'll leave this thread open for any questions and if any other mods want to chime in or something.
