# Ban Appeals

If you have been banned from Theatria and believe that your ban was unjust or that you deserve a second chance, you can submit a ban appeal. Theatria's ban appeal process is designed to be fair and transparent, giving all players the opportunity to have their case heard and considered by multiple staff members.

## Ban Appeal Process

1. **Submit Your Appeal**
   * Use the appropriate form or channel to submit your ban appeal.
   * Provide the following information:
     * Your in-game username.
     * The reason for your ban.
     * A detailed explanation of why you believe the ban should be lifted.
2. **Staff Review**
   * Your appeal will be reviewed by our staff team. They follow these [Ban Appeal Review Guidelines](/theatria/rules-policies/ban-appeals/ban-appeal-review-guidelines.md).
   * Staff members will consider the circumstances of your ban and your explanation.
   * Please be patient, as this process may take some time.
3. **Approval Criteria**
   * At least **three staff members** must agree to lift the ban for the appeal to be approved.
   * The server owner is included in this process and has an equal vote.
   * Disapprovals from any staff member, including the owner, will not impact the outcome if three approvals are received.
4. **Notification of Decision**
   * You will be informed of the outcome of your appeal.
   * If your appeal is approved, your ban will be lifted, and you will be allowed to rejoin the server.
   * If your appeal is denied, you may be given the opportunity to submit another appeal after a specified period.

***

Please note that all ban appeals are treated seriously, and providing false or incomplete information may result in your appeal being denied. Ensure your submission is honest and detailed for the best chance of a favorable decision.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.playtheatria.com/theatria/rules-policies/ban-appeals.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
