| − | This page explains where and how to appeal infractions and other moderator actions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''Appeal by PM to the moderator concerned or to an administrator''': Members should feel free to discuss any moderator action or decision either with the moderator concerned or with one of the moderation overseers. This is usually the best way to start if you disagree with an infraction you have received, but you should also start here if have an issue with other actions such as thread warnings, thread closures, notes, and so on. You can find a list of moderators and administrators here.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''Appeal to the Praetorium''': Appeals in the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1309 Praetorium] are heard by all moderation staff, and all cases are private, which means that other members will not be able to view your appeal thread. You can appeal infractions in the Praetorium and you can also ask for an official ruling on any instruction you have been given by a moderator via PM, note, or thread warning. You cannot appeal other moderator actions like post deletions, thread closures, probation, and so on. You can find the Praetorium guidelines here.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''Appeal to the Tribunal''': Appeals in the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=146 Tribunal] are heard by an independent panel of Tribunes and Magistrates, and all cases are public, which means that other members will be able to view your appeal thread. You can only appeal infractions and other penalties in the Tribunal. You can find the Tribunal guidelines here.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Appeals against infractions follow much the same process in both the Praetorium and the Tribunal. To open an appeal against an infraction, simply create a thread requesting an appeal. Try to provide relevant information about the infraction such as the approximate time the infraction was given, the name of the moderator who issued the infraction, and the relevant thread or forum. After you have created the thread, a moderator will post the infraction and deliberations will begin. You may explain your position in the appeal thread. After you have given your side of the story, a thread will be created in a hidden forum and deliberations will be initiated. Once a decision has been reached you will be informed of the verdict.

| − | Appeals should be made first to the moderator who issued the infraction or to any other moderator on the site. It is advised to also contact a member of Hex to address the problem as well.

| − | This forum provides a place for members to appeal warnings directly to Moderation Staff (Administrators and Moderators). Your appeal is private, which means other members will not be able to view your appeal thread. To open an appeal, simply create a thread requesting an appeal. Try to provide relevant information including an approximate time the infraction was given or which moderator gave it to you. After you have created the thread, a moderator will post the infraction and deliberations will begin. You may explain your position in the appeal thread.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After we have heard your side of the story, a thread will be created in a hidden forum and a vote will be initiated. Simple majority is needed to rule in any way. Once a decision has been reached, we shall inform you of the verdict and conclude the appeal.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here are some general guidelines:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *You may not appeal post deletions or notes. If you want to appeal a post deletion or a thread closure, please PM a Moderation Overseer explaining your case.
| |
| − | *You may not appeal the same infraction twice.
| |
| − | *You may not appeal probation.
| |
| − | *After your appeal is concluded in the Praetorium, you may appeal in the Tribunal unless the infraction has been totally reversed.
| |
| − | *All standard ToS rules apply in the Praetorium
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is our goal to conclude all appeals within a week, but please bear in mind that staff is composed of volunteers, many of which have additional site duties, so verdicts may be delayed. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to PM a moderator.
