If you wish to contest a warning, you may create a topic in the Feedback forum with a reference to the post in question and an explanation why you think the warning is not justified. In case of a ban you can send a complaint via email by . The email is only to be used in case of a ban and you forfeit your right to an appeal if you use it to contest a regular warning not leading to a ban. By publicly complaining about a warning in any way (starting with pointing out "I've been warned for this and that"), or go badmouthing this forum and its members on another board you also forfeit your rights to an appeal and the warning may be made permanent without exception.
