PM the mod that banned you, if it was signed.

If it wasn't signed, I wouldn't bother trying to argue, since the main reason bans are left anonymous is because there's nothing to discuss (i.e. you blatantly broke a site rule that carries a non-negotiable ban as a consequence of breaking it).

If you really feel the mod is being unreasonable, you could PM a site admin (namely Wade), but it's extremely unlikely that it's the mod at fault in these things. I only know of maybe 4 or 5 times in the last 3 years where site admins have had to get involved in oveturning moderator actions, and all of them were centered around said mods having their accounts hijacked (which I doubt is the case here, since there aren't 20+ other threads like this already).
I'd take a long, hard look at the situation before making use of that link, if I were you.

The above information is good but please remember that our rules state to not complain about a ban by making a new thread.

Technically this thread could be taken as against the rules and you'd be serving yet another ban. But since some sites are a little more crazy about the moderation they do have appeals processes and whatnot so I think your question is legit if you've visited other ones like that. (unless this is some type of 13-year-old teen angst whiny bullcrap. If so: grow a pair soldier)
