Bit late I'm sorry but I just wanted to comment anyways.
I think the first part of your thread has been addressed very well. I wanted to comment about
it says that all bans are recorded and reviewed, but I don't know if that is the case. Are females being promoted to mods etc because of simps? you be the judge XD
this.
I think really the only way to understand how appeals are handled is to actually be a part of the staff team, but I'll try and explain the appeal system.
All punishments of any type on Manacube require evidence. If players appeal a punishment, or if a possible unjust punishment is brought to our attention, it will always be reviewed by the entirety of the staff team, (as Purpz said.) and the next step will be decided - this can be reducing the punishment, voiding the punishment or leaving it as is. The original staff member that punished cannot take that appeal.
Now, about the "simp" comment. All staff members are promoted because of a decision made by the Upper Management Team. Promotions are based off how the staff member is performing. They are
not promoted because of simps. To even suggest this is ridiculous to me. In ANY situation, promotions/demotions based purely off gender is disgusting, but I'm sure you know this.
You may file a staff report
here if you feel a staff member was abusing their power - But please keep in mind we are all human and make mistakes (hence the appeal system of course.)
You should only report a staff member if you think they are harmful to the community/purposely abusing their powers, not for a mistake in punishing. All staff reports are viewed by admins to keep things as fair as possible.
I hope this cleared some things up, but if you have any more questions please do not hesitate to ask.
