What are Appeals?
Appeals let staff ask for an infraction or suspension to be reviewed. Each appeal holds the original punishment, the staff member’s answers and the reviewer’s decision. They keep your disciplinary system fair and give disputes a clear process.How Appeals Work
New appeals show in the Pending Appeals tab. Administrators open an appeal, read the answers and approve or deny it. Once resolved, the appeal moves to the Appeal History tab with the original infraction, the answers and the final decision. You write the appeal questions on the Infraction Settings page, and they apply to every new appeal.Appeal Tabs
