The Adopt Me! Wiki's Appeal System grants blocked users to contest the current block placed upon them and potentially grant them a chance to be able to interact with the wiki's community again. The Appeal System aims at being non-biased and impartial β€” appeals are reviewed internally by a moderator other than the block performer. The username of the reviewer will not be disclosed.

The Appeal System was put in effect on January 5, 2022 00:00:00 UTC. Any appeals sent before January 5, 2022 00:00:00 UTC cannot be considered or reviewed.

Checklist

This checklist allows you to know if your appeal is written correctly and completely.

  • You have not appealed for your current block yet OR it has been at least 90 days (about 3 months) from the time when the appeal decision is replied to the appeal post.
  • The block duration issued to you is 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, or infinite.
  • You are writing to the block performer who blocked you. See your block log.
    • If the block performer is no longer part of the Adopt Me! Wiki Administration and Moderation Team, you may send an appeal to any active administrator.
  • Your block does not fall under any points in the Auto-Decline Policy.
    • If the moderator asks you to rewrite, please read the Rewrite Policy and Format sections.
  • Make sure your appeal message follows the specific format specified under the Format section.

Once your appeal is sent...

  • Make sure you are updated with the appeal replies.
    • You must reply to appeals within 72 hours (3 days).

Auto-Decline & Rewrite Policy

These guidelines determine the user's eligibility to appeal.

Auto-Decline Policy

Users may have their appeal automatically declined if their block violates one of the following:

  • Extremely negative behavior towards the community;
  • Trolling, posting pornography, raiding, revealing personal information (excluding age), or any Fandom's Terms of Use violations.

Rewrite Policy

Users may be subject to rewriting their appeal if the appeal violates one of the following:

  • Beg for an unblock or attempt to use a personal incident or occurrence as an excuse;
  • Blame their actions on others. Users are expected to own up to their mistakes and simply request an unblock;
  • Carry out public call-outs or share libelous information aimed towards other users; or
  • The appeal needs to be more explained under the appeal reviewer's discretion.

A moderator reserves the right to decline any points under "Rewrite Policy" if deemed bad faith.

Format

Appeals should follow a certain format as to make it easier for the appeal reviewers.

Appeal – Adopt Me! Wiki - YOUR_USERNAME


  • Introduction: In this part of the appeal, the user must describe themselves. We generally expect the user to note some of their contributions to the wiki and also share how long they have been on the wiki.
  • Block description: Users are expected to provide a description of why they were blocked.
  • Improvements: In this section, users should provide a detailed reason to why their block should be lifted.

Process

Appeals relating to the Adopt Me! Wiki are officially processed on Community Central.

To contest a block or appeal, users may message the moderator or administrator that has blocked them (can be found on your contributions page) on their respective Message Walls on Community Central.

If the block performer has resigned and is no longer a wiki staff member, users may write to any active administrator on the wiki through Community Central.
