You are so fast, because I have plan to do it and almost start to make it today, but now I see your topic.
I have small suggestion for you on the ban appeal form given in the OP:
If you are banned, write a post in this format from an alternative account:
- Link to profile
Trust: Your trust
Rank: Your rank
Merit earned: ?
It should be added one more line, that might help admins or global mods fastly to glance at best contributions of ban appealers. They actually will investigate further than that, but it makes sense to stop instantly if best contributions shown by ban appealers are unconstructive, in reality.
- List of best contributions in the forum (best topics/ best posts):
Additionally, you should add a new category.
Solved ban appeals, but have not locked yetSolved means perma-bans already changed to temp-bans and signature bans; or proofs found and ban appeals rejected due to low net effects.
