Appeal Process
Take Note
- Be respectful
Avoid the use of insults, name-calling and ensure that your language is not in a demeaning/demanding tone. - Report the truth
Providing false information can result in further penalties being placed against you. - Provide Evidence
Try to provide evidence. This makes it more reliable and more trustworthy. - Do not beg/demand
Do not plead or demand action be taken. - Use English
We can only understand English in most circumstances. Appeals made with other languages may take longer to process.
Tips on successful appeal
- Show understanding
Players who show understanding and acknowledge that they have made a mistake have a higher chance of appeal being accepted. If unsure, of the reason, feel free to ask a member of staff. - Your track record matters
Committing the same offense multiple times within a short period of time will result in a lower chance of acceptance. You are advised to take a month or two to reflect, then appeal again. - Appeal when appropriate
24 hours from the time of issue for all penalties, except unappealable permanent bans where the earliest appeal should be considered 6 months from the time of issue. - Hostile Behavior won’t get you anywhere
- Sincerity matters
Be sincere in your appeal, don’t do it “for the sake of doing it”. We can tell from the way you write your appeal. - Accept and move on
If your appeal is rejected, appeal again after a month
