Issues and Complaints

- Issues between two individuals should be dealt with between the individuals where possible, before involving the Moderation team.- To reach the Moderation team, raise a Support Ticket in the #support_ticket channel. You can also reach the Admin team in the same channel if you wish to discuss an issue relating to another member of the Moderation team- We will aim to deal with issues as fast as possible, but please note that this may not be instant. Some issues may take time to sort. This does not mean any issue is of a low priority.- The Moderation team will be united in their decisions, and speaking to another member of the team will not encourage a different outcome. Approaching a single Moderator directly will only result in you being directed towards the Support Ticket system.

Appeals

If you feel a punishment is too severe, you can appeal the decision.- Appeals must raised within 48 hours of the initial moderation action. Warnings, Server Mutes and Channel bans are to be raised through Admin Support Tickets. Kicks and Bans from the server and submitted via our Appeals Form.- If your request for appeal is accepted, we will contact you within a week to hear in more detail and reconsider the actions taken. You may not hear back if you are unsuccessful in your request.- Do not chase the moderators for updates on your appeal, this will count against you.
