"Appeal a Ban" button

[Defiant_Blob]

So, this is a suggestion for our main home page thing (www.blocktopia.net). What I think we should do is make an easier system for appealing bans, or at least easier for people to appeal for a ban in the right section. What I am thinking is putting a button on the front page and in the forums bar that says "Appeal a Ban" or "Banned?". This would lead you to the list of servers, and in turn to the appropriate forum section, making it easier for users to find where they should appeal.

As well, maybe another possibility is creating a form for when users attempt to appeal in the ban section. I'm not sure if this would be possible to code or place in, but it would be where one presses "Create Thread", then is put on a page similar to the ones we use for Google Docs.

Pros, cons, or general disapproval of change?

Someone is bound to ignore it and post their Ban appeal in introduce yourself/say goodbye.

Same applies to The Big Red Text. Just because it won't catch everyone doesn't mean it won't help some.

Having police doesn't meant that every criminal is caught. Should we therefore stop having police?
(that's also a fallacy, just can't remember the particular name)

I'll go talk this over with the other head staff. I like the idea.

Oops. We're, uh, still debating it. (That is, we are now once again looking into it.)

Sounds like a really cool idea :D

When I was looking to appeal a ban, I was completely unfamiliar with the forum layout and it took a while for me to find where to do it. A button would have really helped back then
