@BorinI like your idea. My initial concern was "What if members of the community have valuable input regarding whether a banned player deserves a place back in the community or not?", but I imagine if they can at least see that an appeal has been posted, they can reach out to staff with such input - even if they can't read the appeal directly.

Yes that was my thinking too, which is why it's important people should at least be able to see an appeal has been lodged. Those concerned who have something they think should be said will always be able to reach out and say it, public or not!

They need to come to the front of the forums in some way is the thing, maybe something for it?
