| Q10- <Name> has been punished, why is this? and I think it's unfair can I appeal it? A10- They were punished because they broke the rules, it's up to them to read the rules to see what is allowed and what isn't. They were probably warned beforehand or recieved an email about why they were punished. As far as appealing a decision, no, this isn't a court, and allowing everyone to appeal would only cause more headaches and completely undermine the rules that have been established. If a member decides to appeal a punishment or petition for a punishment to be reduced/removed, they will find themselves warned. It says right in the rules "Admin decision is final" And it is for the reason given above. |

Q11- OH NO, I've been resticted from <content>, why is this? And what can I do? A11- First off check This, it'll tell you a basic idea. But the major reason you would have been restricted is: you abused that section. In some form or another you crossed the line (You may have been warned previously not to do that, or otherwise told not to, but you did it anyway. Or you may not have been told explicity, it may have just been in the rules.) and were deemed that you should no longer be able to access it. So now that your restricted, what can you do? well here's what NOT to do: - Repeatedly pm/email admins asking why it happened - Repeatedly pm/email admins asking for it to be undone (Doing this just makes us angry, and doesn't make us want to consider undoing it, rather we consider extending it.) - Make topics griping about it. (We don't like it, other people don't like it, your not going to make anyone want to support your cause that way.) - Don't try to suck up to an admin (it won't work anyway, and it just ticks us off.) - Repeatedly pm/email other members asking them to support/petition for you. (They may get annoyed, and if they do petition for you, then they could get punished as well. See question 10 and the forum rules.) The best thing to do is to take alook at the section you were restricted from and think why you were restricted from it. Then you change the attitude/actions that caused to to be restricted and show us that you can be trusted to be allowed back into that section. HOWEVER, if you do this just to get back into that section again... And once there you do the same thing that got you restricted. Don't expect to have the restriction removed again. |
