thanks for posting this my SG bot got banned earlier today was about to appeal it but now ill just let it sit and hope for the best since i have like 50m on it.
Your thread and title is really misleading to be honest. There have been many members who have appealed them and gotten them accepted/offence "quashed". You appealing, the action itself, had nothing to do with you getting banned. It was the fact you were trying to be funny and say "I'm sorry", which got you permanently banned.
Do you think I really expected that they would increase a 2 week ban to a perm ban. I have never heard of this happening to anyone before, so I just expected them to hit the deny button and carry on.
You got caught but they weren't sure of it yet, You were given temp ban and a chance to appeal, you wrote "I'm sorry" instead, Rofl now they know you were definitely botting thus perm banned.
Note : Guys, you can still appeal.. Just be smart and not admit that you were cheating, Even if it gets denied, your sentence will definitely stay the same.
Damn that sucks. I had two get banned and I appealed from my home IP hoping that since all the botting was done on my VPS I'd have a chance at getting unbanned, but nope. Denied within like 5 minutes. They didn't change mine into a permanent though. That's just harsh.
