Follow the steps below for a better chance of posting a successful ban appeal.
Filling out a Ban Appeal Form:
You must answer all questions in the form accordingly. If you leave any sections blank the ban appeal will be instantly closed and will not be reviewed, responses such as "you have the ip" or "dont know" will no longer be accepted. You MUST provide an answer of why you wish to be unbanned, failure to do so will also result in the appeal being closed.
Wrongful bans & multiple ban appeals
This section is to appeal your bans, therefore if you believe you have banned wrongfully, you may post an administrative
complaint against the administrator who banned you. The appeal will be reviewed according to the outcome of the complaint, this may take longer than the average ban appeal due to waiting on the administrative complaint so PLEASE be patient and do not badger the ban appealers, we can only go as fast as we can.
Posting multiple ban appeals will not result in your appeal being reviewed any faster, it will only result in a warning or infraction.
Ban Lengths
The current standard ban length for 3 warnings is 7 days temporary ban.
All unbans are according to the GMT-6 timezone.
The length is at the discretion of the ban appealers
- The ban length is determined through a variety of factors i.e. more severe offences will receive much longer bans than the standard 7 day, which are all at the discretion of the ban appealer. If the player has been banned previously, the ban will be lengthened depending on the severity of the offence and the amount of previous bans/warnings you have received .
- If the player also is high levelled, expect a longer ban length.
- If you think your ban length is too long, contact the Director or istant Director of Ban Appeals and they will review it for you(Please use common sense when contacting the DoBA or ADoBA regarding ban length)
- Bad Example - You are banned for 1-2 months for hacking, the chances are you're not going to get your ban time reduced.
- Good Example - You are a low level player with no previous bans and receive longer than the current 7 day ban time for 3 warnings.
IP addresses
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN IP
- Unless you can, with SOLID proof and convincing facts show us that your IP address was banned due to either an obvious mistake or in connection to another ban aimed at ANOTHER player (that can easily be separated with you), your IP ban won't be lifted.
- We won't unban an IP address, whether it was your "brother" or anyone else playing on your account, if rules were broken on your IP address, you will be paying the consequences.
Tips/Other
- We try our very best to unban all players on the day of their unban date, however due to the vast amount of appeals we have to review and our commitments to other things we may not always unban instantly on the date, please allow for up to 12 hours after you're due to be unbanned (12:00PM(-6 GMT)), if after 12 hours you're not unbanned then you may post another appeal providing all the required details and the link to your previous ban appeal.
- Tell the 100% truth from the start, if you do then you'll have a much higher chance of being unbanned than if you lie and waste the ban appeal teams time. You may think it will work out better for you if you try to lie but this only makes things worse for you, it is better to be honest and we will work with you to try and figure something out.
- Be patient. Don't PM the ban appealers to resolve your appeal. It will get reviewed.
- Permanent bans may not be reappealed every day.
- Give us a detailed answer on every question. Do not give a vague answer of why you should be unbanned.
