User:Misery/So you got permabanned

So, I heard you got PERMABANNED!

Oh the humanity, oh the injustice! It was a mistake! A misunderstanding! A corrupt power mad admin! A conspiracy! Maybe you weren't permabanned, but you just feel that the length of block is unjustified for your crimes.

What you should do:


 * Carefully word a reasonable and polite email to the admin that banned you, explaining the situation, why you think the length of the ban is too long or that no ban is justified at all. Who knows, we might listen, you might even have a good reason. You can find all our emails on PvXwiki:Administrators.
 * If you think the administrator who banned you is biased or unreasonable, copy in another admin, preferably a bureaucrat, once again carefully and calmly explaining the situation. Administrators don't like wheel wars, so we are unlikely to reverse another administrator's ban lightly.

What will this do:


 * Your case will be considered. You may unbanned, you may not. You may have to suck it up and take a break for a while. This is actually the nicest thing we could do to you. PvX is a horrible place, you should be thanking us!
 * If you wait long enough and try again, maybe we will feel sorry for you. Maybe we will remember how you weren't a giant grade A douche nugget about the whole thing and look kindly upon you and give you a second, third or even a fourth chance! When you go for a later appeal pick one of the sappier administrators, they are more likely to fold to this kind of request, but woe betide you if you fuck up again. Auron might notice and he tends to just instantly permaban people.

What you shouldn't do:


 * Immediately log on with another IP address to tell everyone that you were unfairly banned: You are banned. Stop editing the wiki in any form. You can find our emails if you need to contact us.
 * Start proxying immediately and making new accounts to scream about the injustice of your ban, vandalise or generally make a nuisance of yourself: We aren't stupid, we are going to notice, you will be banned, your edits will be reverted. This will basically justify your ban. Even if the original offence didn't really warrant the ban you received, you are earning it now. You will not be unbanned while behaving in this way. No, you will not eventually wear us down. There are many of us and only one of you. End of the day, we want this site to not be shitty and you don't really care, you will give up first. Believe me, I have seen it enough times. If you behave in this way it will make us much less likely to ever unban you.
 * Lie to us: Maybe we are dumb enough to fall for it for a while. You will slip up eventually and then you will be banned again. Furthermore, we won't believe whatever you have to say after this point. We'll probably have really itchy trigger fingers and actually unfairly ban you another time, but we won't care because you lied to us before.

Something else you could try:


 * Be banned a while, calm down, come back with a new name and a new attitude: Ok, you were the mangiest fuck knuckle this site has ever seen. We will never unban you and you know that. We'll probably be super suspicious of new accounts for a while depending on how much of a cunt scraper you were, so just be banned for a while. Go learn Mongolian or something. Once you have calmed down, after a month or two, come back with a new name and a new attitude. Don't get into the same arguments. Don't make the same builds. Be a new person. If we never notice anything fishy, we may not even check your IP ever and you won't even have to proxy. If you come back as someone who doesn't make me want to rip out your corneas and shove them elbow deep up your ass I'm happy, you're happy and you can stay on PvX. If we ever work out who you are, you will probably get banned again instantly unless you have been the most fantastical rainbow pony we have ever seen or something, so don't do that. Don't chum it up with your old buds. Don't fall back into old bad habits. If I never know it is that crap popsicle that I banned six months ago, I don't care that you are back. Enjoy, everyone is happy ^___________^

Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?
 * I'm Misery. I've been here since forever. You are not the first person to think they are badass for avoiding bans. I've seen more people give up their proxying sprees than there are maggots in a dead horse. I've seen the good trolls, you are not one of them. You are obvious and crass. Maybe someone slipped past me and the other administrators on my watch. Apparently they aren't being super douche nozzles, so I don't care. They probably did one of the things I mentioned here.

So now...

'''BEST OF LUCK GETTING UNBANNED! ^_______^'''
