Lift one AdvancedBan restriction after an approved appeal

Applies to: AdvancedBan; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked 9 November 2026.

An appeal reversal should affect the intended punishment while leaving the player’s other records available. Review the record and command syntax before applying an unban or unmute.

Follow the procedure

Confirm the account identity and the approved appeal decision privately. Record the punishment type, issuing moderator, reason and timestamp rather than relying on the latest chat screenshot.
Inspect the account’s history and current restrictions with the documented read commands. Distinguish the appealed action from a later independent ban, mute or warning.
Check the installed reversal command and permission. Use an identifier where that release supports it; otherwise confirm exactly how the account-based command chooses the active record.
Execute the targeted reversal from the correct proxy or backend. Retain its response and ask the player to retry the previously restricted action through the usual public route.
Read history and current status again. Confirm the appeal’s record is inactive while unrelated restrictions and historical evidence remain available.
Attach the decision and reversal timestamp to your moderation case. Tell the player what was changed without exposing staff-only notes or another account’s network information.

Check the result

The selected restriction should cease enforcement and the audit trail should still explain the original action and its reversal. If access remains blocked by another system or restriction, identify that independently before making a second change. Do not assume every refusal belongs to AdvancedBan.

If the result is wrong

If the command targets an unexpected record, stop and ask a senior moderator to review the captured output. Avoid bulk unban, database edits or deleting the player’s entire punishment history. Correct the specific action with the release’s documented controls and preserve the case record.
