Help When Filling a Ban Appeal

Hello! So, I have noticed that every now and then us admins get a ban appeal or perm-ban ban appeal that is wrong. For example, someone might not use the format correctly, or someone might incorrectly label a perm-ban appeal as just a ban appeal, or visa versa. In this thread, I am hoping to clear up the confusion when filing a ban appeal for TotalFreedom.

NOTE: This is only for TotalFreedom. Associated servers can be different and they have nothing to do with bans from here. Everything is separate. If you've been banned on an associated server, go on their forum page and follow the necessary steps in order to become unbanned.

What have I gotten banned for?
Well, you can get banned for a multitude of different things. Ban appeals are both for OPs who have been banned by accident and for OPs that accidentally committed an offense. Remember, admins should only ban by the conduct policy which can be found here. It's okay if you've done something by accident. Don't make a fuss about it and rage in the shout box; simply make a ban appeal only stating facts and please refrain from causing drama.
Another instance is if you've been banned while offline. This is very common among bans, and is usually due to something called a range ban. A range ban is when someone in your area has been banned. People that live near you will have the same range of IP. If this happens, just make a ban appeal and the admins will handle it.

How do I file an appeal?
Okay, so we've went over the reasons why you could get banned. Now, I will teach you how to file an appeal.
First, identify the type of ban. If it's for five minutes, it's best to just wait it out since by the time you read the appeal template, file it, post it, and wait for an admin to respond, your ban will most likely already be up. This also goes for a ten minute ban.

Now, if the ban is a GTFO (24 hour ban), complete the following steps:
1. Go on your server list. You should see that the server has a message saying "You have been banned." Regardless of this, attempt to join the server.
2. It will show you a screen of who banned you and what you've been banned for. Keep this open; it will be important later on.
3. Go to the forums and look and read the template, which can be found here. 
4. Come to Ban or Admin Suspension Appeals and click "Create Thread" in the upper-right corner. 
5. Go back to the template, copy it, and paste it in the new thread.
6. Go to each question and answer it with facts. Remember, don't lie on your ban appeal. It will only make things worse for you. Use the information from Step 2 to help you fill out your ban appeal.
7. Once you're done, double check it to make sure you've answered all the questions provided. 
8. Then, click "Create Thread" to the right of your screen.

If the ban is a perm-ban (your ban will mention the difference), follow the steps below:
1. Go to the template which can be found here.
2. Come to Ban or Admin Suspension Appeals and click "Create Thread" in the top right corner.
3. Copy and paste the template into the new thread.
4. Answer each question.
5. Once you're done, double check it to make sure you answered everything.
6. Click "Create Thread" to the right of your screen.

NOTE: Only file one ban appeal per ban. Your appeal might not get answered to right away; just be patient. Don't make more than one appeal for the same ban. It confuses us admins and furthermore lowers your chances of being unbanned.

NOTE: Your ban appeal may not be accepted. This is when the admin in question believes they banned you for a legitimate reason. In this case, just wait the ban out. Do not file another appeal. Do not make a thread begging to be unbanned. Do not cause unnecessary drama. It won't work.

Thanks for reading. I hope this helps when filing your ban appeal!

No, only the Administrator who banned the player is allowed to 'deny' or let the player remained banned untill the ban list is purged, being a so-called 'denial' for a ban appeal.

However, the player usually ends out unbanned if he or she is sincere, I hope this helped! Don't be afraid to PM your Crew trainers or TPaSers if you need training!

Normally ban appeals are accepted and the OP for question is unbanned. However, there may be certain cases:

As the quote says, it really depends on the type of offense.
