I don't think SuperMods do TS appeals, so I don't think this would work.

 

Ok let me give you an example.
I get banned both in game and on TS. I appeal. A SuperMod decides to deal with my appeal, they can only unban me in game, not on TS. I believe only GA+ can unban TS users.
It wouldn't really make a differece because the GA+ still has to go and read the appeal. If its a new thread, or contained in the one thread, it doesn't really make a difference.

 

SuperMods can handle TS appeals.

 

I have just added a new line to the appeal format requiring the person appealing to specify which service they are appealing a ban from. We have decided however that we want to keep appeals separate. Hopefully adding this line however will make it clear that this is where bans for teamspeak/shoutbox are to be filed.

In terms of being banned on teamspeak when you are banned in-game, we are going to tweak our guidelines slightly to distinguish between 2 situations:

1. If you are on teamspeak, and then get banned in-game, you will be kicked from teamspeak telling you to not re-connect to teamspeak until you have successfully appealed your ban.
2. If you get banned in-game and then connect to teamspeak after being banned in-game, you will be banned. In this respect, this isn't changed.

Staff will be informed of this change now. Thank you for your suggestion :)
