To handle Banishment (banned=temp/perma):
If you have been banned by any mod and you are wondering what your options are this is the place to be. There is a big rule change. You may NOT make a secondary account to contact anyone. We have I'm's and E-mails, contact us with those. Any use of a secondary account while banned is an instant permaban. A way was found to abuse the secondary accounts, so now they are off the table.

When talking to a mod do not come at us defensive, cocky or pissed off. If you got an I'm out of the blue saying,"HOW THE F*CK DID YOU BAN ME ****-****** I WANT TO TALK ABOUT GETTING IT LIFTED". How do you think you would react? I know how I will react. This also applies if you come to me talking about another mod. The mods here back each other's play so if you come screaming to say to one MOD about another you just put yourself in the Search light of DOOM (with little hope of surviving).

First thing you do is check Town Shunning Thread to find out how long and what you were banned for. If it is not up there check your last few postings to see if a comment was made. When you talk to a mod have links ready if possible. Makes it much easier and smoother.

The order of your appeal for any ban should start with the Mod who banned you. If you can not find satisfaction there go to the Mod who is responsible for the subforum you were banned in. Many times the mod who banned you and that mod are the same. Your next and final step is to contact The Administrators.
Preferably just forwarding all the earlier correspondance. Contacting DragonKing is of no use, he sends them back to me to be handled.

If your ban ever expires, before you even start posting you need to go and read all the rules stickies and rules for all sub forums. Any thread you join that has special rules need to have their rules read again too.

Hopefully you won't be needing this information, just in case it is here waiting for you.
