A mod told me my ban appeal sounded like I was arguing with him, so I rewrote it in 4 sentences and got back in
Turns out saying "your rule makes no sense" in an appeal gets you ignored, but asking "which line in section 4 did I break?" got a real answer in about 3 days.
Section 4 is exactly the kind of catch-all mods love because it can mean whatever they want it to mean. Did they actually quote the specific line back to you, or did they just say "you broke section 4" and call it a day? Because if it's the second one, that's not a real answer, that's a way to shut you up without explaining anything. Three days for a straight answer is nuts when they could've just pointed at the rule in the first place. What did they end up saying you broke?
