== Ban appeals ==
If you wish to challenge a ban, you may do so by submitting a ban appeal. This can be done by creating a message on your personal talk page or by sending an email to the appropriate parties. In your appeal, clearly state the reasons why you believe the ban should be lifted. It is important to be honest and provide any relevant information or context to support your appeal.
 
Please note that ban appeals are not guaranteed to result in the lifting of the ban, and that the final decision on the ban will be made by the administrator(s) who imposed the ban.
 
=== Ban forgiveness ===
Ban forgiveness is a way to appeal a ban after a certain amount of time has passed. This type of appeal is an admission that the ban was justified and a sincere apology for the actions that led to the ban.
 
The process of ban forgiveness typically involves reaching out to the administrator(s) or moderator(s) who imposed the ban and expressing remorse for the actions that led to the ban. This could be done through a message on your talk page or through an email. It is important to be honest and transparent about the reasons for the ban and to take responsibility for your actions.
 
If the ban is lifted as a result of a ban forgiveness appeal, it is important to understand that this is a second chance and that any repeat of the behavior that led to the ban will result in further consequences. It is important to learn from the experience and to make changes to ensure that the ban will not be imposed again in the future.
 
== Minimum Age ==
*Due to COPPA, you must be at least 13 years old to post personal information.
**If you are under 13, you must not post any personally identifiable information (PII) that shows that you are under 13.
**Those that are acting in an immature way or, in other ways, do not appear to be old enough to responsibly contribute may be banned. This ban is appealable once you turn 13.
