There are lots of made up rules, I thought it wasnt a secret. I was once suspended for "trying to annoy the mods," which clearly is not a rule. Complaining about the mods is against the rules, but I wasnt complaining at all. I didnt even mention a mod.
The suspension was repealed, though, so I have seen them to be open to reason. My observation is that if you (generic you, not specifically you) argue or get uppity in the appeal, the appeal is dead. If you tactfully admit you were wrong, you have some wiggle room. On violations that are not really codified rules, I have no idea where that one goes. BDB is a rules committee member person, maybe she can add insight.
