=== Permanent Bans ===
If you have had a previous appeal denied and are '''re-appealing after six months''' have elapsed, you'll need to fill in the '''[https://www.roleplay.co.uk/forms/3-unban-appeal/ Perma-Ban Appeal Form]'''instead.


If you are permanently banned you may file a permanent ban appeal form 6 months from the date of your last ban.  
=== Temp / Timed bans. ===
* If you have filled out a normal ban appeal, but do not qualify for it, you may be directed to file a permanent ban appeal
Please remember that Temporary bans are not appealable and therefor a unban appeal will not suffice.
* Certain exemptions may be made by management/staff allowing you to file a permanent appeal early such as good behaviour on the forums, community reputation, charity outreach, etc... However management still has the final say in the end.
 
* Put effort into your permanent ban appeal, some offences are too grave to forgive, but if you can show management/Staff leads/Community manager effort, you may be granted a second chance.

If your forum account is locked out, create a new one with the word '''_UNBAN''' after the same forum-name you used before. So if you were called '''UberTroll''' originally and got banned, create an account called '''UberTroll_UNBAN''' to make your appeal.
