@Gargron Will appeals be opt-in per server? (Can admin turn off appeals?)

Make appeals and federation opt in. It does not hurt you to do this. Server runners don't another damn tax on their time from all the entitled nazis.  @emma @annika Over a long enough time and with enough people you are guaranteed to make moderation mistakes (Unless you just run a server for your friends in which case this will never be relevant to you). This is about giving people hurt by those mistakes a chance for them to be corrected. It's also about making your life easier so you don't have to wade through e-mails. Thanks @Gargron ! The appeals are notified to moderators by email or you should go and check from time to time?  @Gargron @annika wait, appeals are limited *within* a certain window instead of *after* a window? i'd understand asking for an appeal after some time has passed, not immediately after a decision has been made. in the latter case it would be even less likely to be considered, as the mod making the decision would still have their mind made up... @trwnh Well, your appeal could be noticed by another mod, who is not heated. It could help reveal abusive mods. I suppose I could add a 1 day cooldown before you can appeal though, that seems reasonable. |
@annika If you are concerned about abuse, only one appeal can be submitted, limited by characters, and only within 20 days of the decision. Since you got a notification about the initial report in the first place, this is a matter of potentially just one more notification.
Since people can complain to you through e-mail (and it is not advised to not provide a contact e-mail for legal reasons) I think it is in any case preferable to have that in the system instead of e-mail.
