If you have a serious complaint it's best to contact one of the admins to look into it as they're the only people who can do something about it.
Thank you very much for your advice!
But... now I have even more questions:
1) I can't write "Personal Messages" to our admins under my Snork1979 account, because he is banned and I can't write even Personal Messages to anyone from him.
2) I believe that when receiving Personal Messages from my account "Newbie", our Administrators will simply delete it as spam, without even reading it.
3) I can't write in any other topics of our forum, except for "Meta", under my new account, because our local moderator Xal0lex will gladly ban me right there "for violating the forum rules".
A question for you, as a
Global Moderator, who has been
on our forum for over 11 years: what practices are adopted on our forum for appealing against unlawful actions of local moderators, as in my case? How exactly should I contact our Administrators? (and in what way?)
Meta or contact with the admins is the way to go. You can try PM them from this account directing them to this thread. They may or may not respond but it doesn't hurt to try. Worst case scenario is there's 30 days left on your ban.
