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](/Dashboard/infractions/settings#appeals) page, and they apply to every new appeal. *** ## Appeal Tabs The appeal tabs | Tab | Contents | | - | - | | Pending Appeals | Appeals waiting for review | | Appeal History | Past appeals with the original infraction and the staff member's answers | *** ## Pending Appeals Each pending appeal shows the member's name and handle, the type of punishment and its status.
