@trwnh @annika Some things become irreversible over time. 20 days leaves mods 10 days to review the appeal before e.g. a suspended account's data is completely gone, or posts deleted by the moderator are fully removed.

@Gargron @annika i think *within* is the wrong word then -- just to be clear, can you appeal the decision 0-20 days later, or 20-30 days later?

@Gargron i'm not sure i see the point, then. like i said, if you have an action taken against you, the mod who did so may still be heated/etc and unlikely to reconsider. especially if you can only send one appeal, this means the likely user flow is like so:

1. get silenced or suspended
2. appeal immediately (ie within a day)
3. have your appeal rejected
4. decision becomes final

this is simply not conducive to how people process perceived transgressions and requested forgiveness.

@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.
