Appeal Process

[Metro Boomin 247]

First off, I understand that the staff of Olympus have a lot going on, I won't discredit the work they do for us. That being said, I am really disappointed with how hard it is to get a ban appeal opportunity. I've talked to numerous people and its a common theme, using the ban center in TS is just a waste of time. Me personally I was live banned, made an appeal ticket in less than half an hour, then hopped in the TS. I've since been in the TS constantly for  2 days and 2 hours, constantly refreshing the idle timer. Keep in mind that my ban is a 3 day ban. I won't witch hunt or name drop, but I've seen the person who issued my ban in the TS for hours at a time during my time waiting for just a few minutes of their time to get a chance to appeal my ban. Its extremely disappointing and discouraging to see the ban appeal section just borderline ignored. I believe if you are going to issue a ban on someone you should at least be mindful that they might want to try and appeal. Like I stated at the beginning of my statement, I understand that the staff has a lot on their plates, but it really doesn't take but just a few minutes to hear out an appeal.

I haven't had the same experience but I know for a fact others have.

My ban appeal was checked in two hours, hopped in teamspeak an hour after and resolved the issue. - that was @Headless (thanks!)

I will say an easy fix to this is to not give long bans for short circumstances. If someone RDMs a guy once (and ruins 10 minutes of someone's gametime) it really simply doesn't deserve a 3 day, 5 day, or two week ban.

In other games even that would be a kick - maybe a day ban at most.

The rules on this server are perfect. The punishments? Way too severe.

I know that the staff follow guidelines but if we were to alter those a bit we wouldn't be having this issue. There are a few people that only want to RDM or break rules consistently but the people appealing don't tend to be the people that are actively ruining experiences, excluding script kiddies.

I was banned for a de-sync vdm situation. Cyanide reached out to me shortly after I made this post and he unbanned me simply because I had to wait for a while.

Let me give you a little trick! If your ban isn't 14 days or longer, no point in appealing!
