Appealing a Ban

If you believe that you were falsely banned or know you were in the wrong and would just like to apologize and try for a lesser ban than an appeal is what you have to make. Below we will detail the steps that you will take to appeal your ban then remove the banned from your record. Note: Blacklists are unappealable. 

1. Gather all the evidence and witnesses you might want to help you with your case. Note: Evidence speaks a lot louder than witnesses because in the grand scheme of things you could just have 4 of your friends saying you were falsely banned and we cannot appeal a ban based on hearsay. 
2. Head to your respective server's Ban Appeals section
   • 
3. Make a post within this section using the ban appeal format provided by SMT.
4. Post with as much information as possible for the best chances of success. 
5. Don't have much evidence? Know you are in the wrong? Sometimes if you are just honest and detail out that you made a mistake, the SMT can be quite forgiving! It is worth a try.
6. Once posted wait for SMT to check the post out. *remember SMT have many many posts to go over so it could take up to a week to get checked*
7. IF your appeal gets accepted
   • Now you need to get the banned removed from your ban panel account at https://gaminglight.com/bans/
   • Sign in and go to your profile tab at the top.
   • Under the ban that was appealed click appeal at the right side of the ban under options.
   • In the appeal, link the accepted appeal post and submit it.
   • An SMT will look at this and accepted it.
8. IF your appeal gets denied
   • Do not appeal again. If it gets denied once it will just keep being denied.
