Yes. The only thing I don't like about ban appeals is that only the banning admin can unban the player they banned. While I trust that there is no corruption within the admin core (banning someone for their friend because they didn't get their way in a situation) I'm sure people would like to have a second look at their ban and have a second opinion. There's a lot of shit you can get banned for and not even know it. You'll log in one day and you'll be faced with a ban you don't even remember doing, or wasn't your fault to begin with. It's unfortunate but I'm sure it happens.
The problem nowadays is that some people log on to Asylum just to get people banned. They literally log in and their first thought is "who can I get banned today?" Or "how many people can I get banned today?" You do something wrong and this person will scream "you're getting banned!!!" in side chat over and over and over. Everything is "BAN BAN BAN." There are problem people that intentionally exploit and mass RDM/VDM, script, etc. Sure, toss 'em in a fire pit and let them rot.
I accidentally crashed in to someone the other day and the first thing in side chat was "VDM, comp or ban." I couldn't believe what I saw. It was obviously a freak accident (two players driving at very high speeds passing each other on the highway and then colliding because they both tried to dodge the same way). I ignored them completely after apologizing (BIG MISTAKE) and I worried for the next 3 days waiting to log on to a VDM ban but luckily nothing ever came of it.
That's just a small sliver of what I've experienced. Could it be an extremely vocal minority? Or is this the community that Asylum has become, ban hungry veterans that treat Asylum like Call of Duty/CS:GO? We have to remember people, the Arma 3 servers for Asylum are roleplaying servers. I get it thrown at me a lot that "this isn't a roleplaying server." People laugh at me when I tell them they're not great at roleplaying. While it's not a "hardcore roleplaying server" it still is a roleplaying server and that should be your priority.
I'm going to end my small rant there!
