Before Submitting an Appeal

Please keep the following points in mind before submitting an appeal. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in your appeal being denied without review.

• Temporary punishments may not be appealed unless you believe they were applied incorrectly or you were punished for cheating.

• If a punishment occurred while your account was shared or compromised, you are still responsible for any actions taken on your account.

• Appeals must be submitted by the account owner. If the account owner is unable to submit an appeal themselves, they should contact a staff member for assistance.

• Follow any instructions given to you in previous appeals (for example, being told to wait until a specific date). Ignoring instructions may negatively affect your appeal.

• Once a decision has been made on an appeal, do not submit further appeals for the same punishment. Appeal decisions are final.

• Do not create public threads complaining about your punishment or a staff member’s decision. These will be removed and may result in further action.

• Do not harass, threaten, or abuse staff members regarding a punishment or appeal outcome. This may result in forum warnings or your appeal being immediately denied.

• Do not “bump” appeals to request faster responses. Doing so will push your appeal to the back of the queue.

• Do not message staff members asking them to review your appeal. Appeals are handled in order and contacting staff may result in denial.

Appealing Mutes

If you wish to appeal a mute on ElyriaMC, please keep the following in mind:

• Mute appeals must be submitted in the Punishment Appeals section.

• If you have already received a mute reduction in the past, you may not be eligible for another reduction.

• Permanent mute appeals may only be submitted after at least one month from the mute date.

• Depending on the severity and history of the offence, you may be asked to wait longer before submitting an appeal.

Appealing Bans

If you wish to appeal a ban on ElyriaMC, please note the following:

• Ban appeals must be submitted in the Ban Appeals section.

• If you have already received a ban reduction for the same offence, you are not eligible for another reduction.

• If you were instructed to complete an in-game requirement (such as a punishment system or jail), you are not eligible for a ban reduction for that offence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for an appeal to be reviewed?

Appeal review times vary depending on the punishment type, severity, and the number of appeals currently waiting. Blacklist appeals and escalated cases typically take longer. We review appeals as quickly as possible.

What does “Escalated” mean on my appeal?

This means your appeal requires review by a senior staff member and has been forwarded for further consideration.

Why was my cheating appeal denied if I wasn’t cheating?

Cheating appeals are denied only after staff have reviewed logs and evidence. If you believe a mistake was made, ensure your appeal clearly explains your situation and includes any relevant context.

I have another question about the appeal process

If you have questions regarding the appeal process itself, you may contact a staff member via Discord or through a forum conversation. Please do not contact staff regarding the status of an active appeal.
