I really don't see the point in this, a ban, and it's appeals should be a private between a player and a mod
moderating and such will always be questioned by players simply because decisions are being made that players don't like, it doesn't come into it whether they think the mods are being fair or not i think, ahaha.
Anyway, i am fairly sure that the moderators are doing there best to keep the peace, and if an appeal is put through they look at it again to see if a harsh decision, but 99% of the time, they made the right decision.
Really, i would love it if there was no need for moderators, i'm fairly sure they don't like having to deal with idiots everyday, but it has to be done by someone.
I think We should be praising these people for keeping this community clean, not questioning their motives.
