Appeals & Reviews

Use the official appeal route and provide the action appealed, why it was incorrect or disproportionate, relevant new evidence, and what will change. Be concise, truthful, and respectful.

An appeal is a review, not a public debate. Harassing staff, evading a ban to appeal, rallying supporters, fabricating evidence, or repeatedly resubmitting the same rejected claim may close the process.

Outcomes may uphold, reduce, replace, or reverse an action. Some platform-mandated or extreme safeguarding actions may have limited server-level review, but factual corrections can still be submitted through the stated route.

Appeal reviewers should avoid deciding their own contested action where another qualified reviewer is reasonably available.
