I've been told in the past that when you want to appeal a penalty decision, you should try and contact the site owner. Yet ever since the penalty that put me over the ban limit for 10 months, I've been trying to lodge my appeal through the contact us page, and for this entire time I have not received a response, not even a simple "we reject your appeal". So I'm left with no choice but to break protocol and appeal here in the hopes that I might finally get a response. Because even if I'm no longer banned, I still want the decision retroactively reviewed. So, to explain why I want to appeal in the calmest way possible;
I was penalized for disagreeing with a moderator. Whilst I understand that I was being confrontational, merely disagreeing with someone's personal views or interpretation of my words does not constitute abusive and/or hateful behavior. If it did, then most users of this site would have to be banned under that rule. Therefore, I wish for my 20 point penalty on March 2, 2020 to be thoroughly reviewed by someone other than the moderator who penalized me.
