Well I was kind of surprised that a thread like this already didn't exist so I'm taking the liberty of making one with the hope that the amount of troll ban appeals are reduced.
Here are some basic guidelines that you should follow if your appealing for a ban here.
-Which one of our servers have you been banned on, and if so which one?
-Do you have a demo leading up to your ban? If so post it
-Do you have Screenshots of the altercation or the ban message? Again post it in the thread with as much evidence you can provide.
-Do you have any witnesses that can help verify or help the situation? If so ask for their forum post.
-If you know the mod that banned you try getting their side of the story and try to understand it from there point of view.
-Be level headed with your response to the situation and don't try to mouth off, it never ends well.
Those are a few that I can think of right now, if I think of more I will add to this. But I do believe that everybody appealing for a ban should follow these rules (suggestions) if they want the best chance of getting there ban appealed.
Feel free to use a quick copy and paste method.

If people want to add ideas and suggestions, to aid players who are banned and aren't going to be trolly then I ask for this thread to remain open.
Now if you do not see your ban on the ban list, feel free to use the above method.
How to appeal for a ban:
-Find your ban in the complaint or ban section.
-Do your appeal there. Do not make a new thread and clutter the forum, and do not post in other section of the forum that is off topic [not] your ban.
