<div class="cit-table-scroll">
{| class="wikitable"

|-
| In game punishment appeal
| <code>Punishment Appeal - Punished by [CIT]NameHere</code>
|-

|}
</div>

* <code>Groups & Squads you're involved in</code>
* <code>When were you punished "Date/Time"</code>
* <code>Who punished you, if known</code>

* <code>What language is used (if any)</code>
* <code>Explain what happened, if known</code>
* <code>Why do you think it was unfair?</code>
* <code>Paste the exact message that you received when you received a warning</code>

== Evidence ==

A punishment appeal should include the needed evidence.

This includes:

* punishment details
* your explanation
* chat logs where needed
* serial where needed
* any other proof needed for the case

For client side logs, open:

<code>MTA San Andreas 1.6 > MTA > logs > console.log</code>

== Main rules ==

The main appeal [[rules]] include:

* fill in the whole format
* include serial and evidence where needed
* lying in your appeal can lead to instant denial and a forum warning
* you cannot appeal a punishment older than <code>14</code> days unless a forum mute prevented you from appealing
* a punishment can only be appealed once
* once the topic is locked, the decision is final
* trying to hinder, delay, or bias the review can get the appeal denied
* only the appellant, their representative, staff, or people asked to reply should post
* the appeal should be written by the punished person whenever possible
* all sides should post their evidence within <code>3</code> days from when the appeal was posted

== Posting on behalf of someone else ==

Someone else can post a punishment appeal for you only in limited cases.

This includes:

* if you are forum muted, someone can appeal on your behalf within the <code>14</code>-day limit
* if you are forum banned, someone can post your in game punishment appeal for you
* if you do not understand English, you can request translation only

The appeal should still be:

* written by the punished person
* not altered by the person posting it

== After the decision ==

If a punishment appeal is accepted:

* the staff member who punished you, or an <code>L3+</code> or <code>L4</code> staff member, will be told to remove the line

You should not rush people to remove it.

A punishment line is only removed when it is officially invalidated.
