How to Appeal a Ban?

If you’ve received a ban in Animal Company VR or its Discord channel, you may have the option to appeal. Appeals are reviewed by our moderation team to ensure fairness.

Step 1: Understand the Rules and Ban System

All moderation actions are based on violations of the Code of Conduct. Animal Company uses a progressive moderation system, meaning penalties start small and increase if rule violations continue.

Moderation Ladder

Depending on behavior and past violations, actions may progress through the following steps:

Mutes

• 1 hour mute
• 3 hour mute
• 12 hour mute
• 1 day mute
• 3 day mute
• 7 day mute

Suspensions

• 1 day suspension
• 3 day suspension
• 7 day suspension
• 14 day suspension
• 30 day suspension

⚠️ Voice moderation is lenient at first and gives players opportunities to correct their behavior. Repeated or serious violations can lead to longer mutes or suspensions.

Step 2: Gather Details

Be ready to provide:

• Your Meta ID and email
• The date and type of ban you received
• A clear explanation of why you believe the ban was a mistake
• Any context that may help moderators understand the situation

Step 3: Submit Your Appeal

• Game bans: Go to the Support Portal, choose the Ban Appeal form, and fill it out with as much honest detail as possible.
• Discord bans: Check the ban notification you received from Dyno or Sapphire. Use the appeal link included in that message, and complete the form truthfully.

If you need the direct form link, use this: Discord Ban Appeal Form 

If you can’t access the appeal form:

• You may not currently have an active ban in the community, OR
• You are ineligible for appeal (this would have been stated in the original ban message).

Important Notes

• Some bans, especially for severe violations, may not be eligible for appeal.
• Appeals are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Submitting an appeal does not guarantee your ban will be lifted.
• Always remain respectful and honest in your appeal.
