= 🚫 Ban Appeals & Reports =

This page explains how to appeal a network ban or report violations.

== 📋 Types of Bans ==

| Ban Type | Scope | Duration | Who Sets It |
|----------|-------|----------|-------------|
| **K‑line** | Single server | Temporary or permanent | Server admin / IRCop |
| **G‑line** | Entire network | Usually temporary (days to months) | NetAdmin / senior IRCop |
| **Channel ban** | One channel | Channel op’s discretion | Channel operator |

== 📝 How to Appeal a Ban ==

=== K‑line (server ban) ===
1. Find the server admin’s email with `/ADMIN` on that server
2. Send an email with:
- Your IP address (shown in ban message)
- Date and time of ban
- Explanation of what happened and why it won’t repeat
3. Wait up to 7 days for a response

=== G‑line (network ban) ===
1. Email `appeals@darkworld.network`
2. Include:
- Your IP address and/or nickname
- The exact ban reason (copy from your IRC client)
- A sincere explanation and plan to avoid future issues
3. Staff will review within 14 days. You may be asked follow-up questions.
4. **No response** after 14 days means the appeal was denied (we do not always reply).

=== Channel ban ===
Contact the channel’s operators. If they are abusive, email `abuse@darkworld.network` with evidence.

== 📢 Reporting Violations ==
If you see a rule violation, you can:

| Method | Best For | Anonymity |
|--------|----------|-----------|
| `/stats p` then `/msg` an IRCop | Active incidents (flooding, harassment) | No (they see your nick) |
| Email `abuse@darkworld.network` | Ongoing issues, evidence with logs | Yes – use a throwaway email |
| Join `#DWIRC` and ask for staff | General help | No |

Provide timestamps, logs, and relevant channel names. Screenshots are accepted but logs are better.

== ⚠️ What Not to Do ==
- Do not publicly argue about bans in channels (that can extend your ban)
- Do not ban evade – that changes your appeal from temporary to permanent
- Do not harass staff about appeals – send one email and wait

== 📧 Contact Emails Summary ==
| Purpose | Email |
|---------|-------|
| Network ban appeals | `appeals@darkworld.network` |
| Report abuse / staff misconduct | `abuse@darkworld.network` |
| Connection limit exceptions | `limits@darkworld.network` |
| General inquiries | `staff@darkworld.network` |
