This policy is to provide templates and information about the types of Long-Term Bans that can be issued.
Long-term ban requests are a way to request a player to be banned from the server for an extended period of time. In principle, a long-term ban lasts until the player submits a long-term ban appeal and that appeal is approved or the ban expires, whichever comes first. Players can only be long-term banned after committing one or more offenses from Category 1 of the guidance for sanctions available to admins here, get issued a pre-approved ban for any infraction deemed appropriate by the Executive Board, or by submitting a self-request. In the event that both a Long-Term Ban Request and a self-request exist for the same player, the Long-Term Ban request takes priority. Requests for bans are posted in the Long-Term Ban Request board located here.
Unlike a regular Long-Term Ban, a Self-Requested ban is a way for a player to 'take time off' from the server if, for example, they feel their behaviour is declining and that they should avoid TF for the time being to prevent potential problems. Self-Requested bans, unlike Long-Term bans, will not be held against the player who requested it in applications for official server positions. Self-requested bans are submitted to the ban manager privately via any official platform and a notice is posted in the Long-Term Bans board to inform the admins that a player has self-requested a ban.
To appeal a long-term ban, an appeal must be submitted to the Ban or Admin Suspension Appeals board. The template to appeal a long-term ban is provided here. If a player is banned from the forums, the ban appeal can be submitted by email to [email protected] using the template linked above. Players should be advised to wait 30 to 60 days before appealing their ban as they risk having it denied, depending on the duration of the ban set before appealing. If a player has concrete evidence their ban was issued wrongly, they are recommended to appeal at any time. Self-Requested bans can be appealed by contacting the Ban Manager at any time via any official platform and no template is required to appeal a self-request.

Also, as a courtesy to players who aren't admins, if there are multiple players in the ban request, make sure to include their names in a list in Question 1 or include them in the title if desired.Self-Requested Ban Template
