The change was effected a couple weeks back. I do not know if it has had a significant impact on number of appeal threads, I still cime across them. Users who appeal, are probably aware of the top reasons for getting banned, but appeal anyways.
An analysis would put in perspective. Also to note, if anyone would indeed make an analysis, it should also consider the number of account bans since the change was made.
It is implemented just for a while so we can't analysis anything for now but seriously number of appeals from the previous months to now look decreased.
The new ban message was implemented surely after this
Now a days meta section is flooded with the topics related to why the account has been banned?
When someone got banned they will get a message like this on their profile
""Sorry (username), you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum.
You have been banned by a forum moderator. You may appeal here: banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com""But instead of just saying banned we can add the reason why they were banned like this below
""Sorry (username), you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum because of plagiarism.(or why he was banned)
You have been banned by a forum moderator. You may appeal here: banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com""Which can clearly avoid huge spams from META section.
