Appeal a punishment

📋 How to Submit a Punishment Appeal

If you believe you were wrongfully punished (banned, muted, etc.) or wish to request a second chance, you're in the right place.

This section allows players to appeal punishments professionally and respectfully. Before submitting an appeal, please take the time to read this post carefully.

🔎 What is a Punishment Appeal?

A punishment appeal is your opportunity to explain your side of the story or ask for a reduced or revoked punishment. Keep in mind:

Appeals are reviewed fairly and individually by staff.

Being honest and respectful increases your chances.

Staff decisions are final unless significant new evidence comes to light.

⚠️ When NOT to Appeal

If your ban is temporary and under 24 hours, please wait it out.

If your punishment reason is valid and evidence-backed, an appeal may not be successful.

Appeals spammed or trolled will be instantly denied and may lead to extended punishment.

✅ What We Look for in a Good Appeal

Honesty: If you made a mistake, admit it.

Maturity: Show you're capable of following the rules now.

Detail: Clearly explain the situation or provide context.

Respect: Appeals with aggression, threats, or sarcasm will be ignored.

📝 Appeal Format (Copy & Paste)

Please copy the format below and create a new thread with your appeal. Title it:
Minecraft Username:
Punishment Type: (Ban / Mute / Other)
Date of Punishment:
Staff Member Who Issued It:

Why were you punished?:
Do you believe this punishment was fair? Why or why not?:
Why should your punishment be lifted or reduced?:
Any additional information or context? (e.g., evidence, apologies, changed behavior, etc.):

Have you read and understood the server rules?: (Yes/No)

🕐 Appeal Review Time

Most appeals are reviewed within 48–72 hours. Please do not bump your thread unless more than 72 hours have passed with no response.

🔒 Important Notes

Only you and staff can see and reply to your appeal.

Do not appeal for others. Each player must appeal for themselves.

Repeatedly denied appeals may lead to appeal blocks.

If you’re ready to appeal, go ahead and create a new thread using the format above.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
