Site Support / Feedback / Ban Appeal on the Discord - What Gives?
« Last post by Fusion on February 12, 2026, 05:47:03 am »So a few days ago, my main Discord account (username fusion.blaster) was permabanned due to an inactive server I was in getting mass reported. I immediately began panicking given how many points of contact and servers I had on it (proof of getting permaed below).

Fortunately, about 5 years ago, the first time my account was ever suspended, I had made a backup account (made before the change to usernames from numbers) and I had joined the HLP server with it so I would know for a fact I'd still have access to the Discord. Logged back in, and HLP was one of the few servers I still had. I began rebuilding all the points of contact I'd lost, and got back into the swing of things on the Discord. Multiple people can verify I reached out to them, clarified what happened, and confirmed I was me, not a hacker or scammer trying to phish for information.
Initially I was able to see the general channels, which I shouldn't be able to see given members of the Discord mod team prohibited me from having access to after a spat over politics. A few days later the role to prevent me from having access is back on my account - no harm no foul, apparently. Few days pass, everything's good. I comment on a few FS related things, the only things I can talk about on the server due to the GC restriction. I wake up this morning, and see a DM from a friend on the HLP server asking me what I'd done. I ask him what he means by that, and he sends me this:

Now I haven't evaded any bans on the HLP Discord, forums, or what have you, so respectfully, what the hell was I banned for? I spent the past 2 weeks getting the backup account reactivated and working again, including getting back to work on campaign development and INF updates, just to wake up to the fact my backup account's been banned from a server it was in for literal years for doing nothing? As the subject of the thread says, what gives? No chance to explain anything, no chance to even defend myself from any accusations, just BOOM, booted out of the server over the claim I "ban evaded." I already went through this nonsense once before, so what do I have to do and who do I have to talk to now to get this ridiculous ban revoked and be able to reengage with the rest of the community?
