I have an idea that I think will work, even without polls.

We should consider making a new account that's named PvZBlockAppeals, where people banned can post a block appeal under a template onto that talk page and administrators and above can respond to those people without sharing the account.

I'd also like to change a few policies for the block appeal:


 * Users who were banned for being underaged are unable to apply for a ban appeal.
 * Users must agree to not to show discord to the wiki in any of their ways after they have been unblocked. Doing so will result in a 6 month block.
 * Users who were blocked for sockpuppetry are unable to apply. Though, there are extremely rare cases for a former sock user to be unblocked.
 * Staff should treat this in the same and serious way other staff would treat reading ban appeals. This means that staff shouldn't be too forgiving nor too sensitive.
 * IMO, it would probably be a better idea if we would create a Block Appeal team, where a small handful of the most loyal administrators and B-crats to look over the ban appeals and decide as a group whether to unban or not. Though, the major problem would be timezones, but most of the staff live in USA to Europe, so I doubt that this could be an issue.

Constructive criticsm is much appreciated. You're free to adjust my idea in any way you wish. Mmmm, I would rather suggest another usergroup (not a official one), not Admins or Bureaucrats, they give the responses to Admins/Bureaucrats.

Everything else in your suggestions are fine.
