# Ban Appeals | SiriusMC

<table border="0" id="bkmrk-if-a-player-sanction" style="border-collapse: collapse !important; width: 100%; border-left: 4px solid #a855a0; border-top: none; border-right: none; border-bottom: none; background-color: rgba(168, 85, 160, 0.08);"><tbody><tr><td style="padding: 8px 16px; overflow: visible; hyphens: none;">If a player sanction (Mute or Ban) has been issued against you, you have broken a server rule and/or staff believed that your behaviour on the server was worthy of sanction. The length and severity of the punishment varies depending on the rule broken and the context behind it. Your previous player history also contributes to determining a fair ban length.

If you do not know the reason for your sanction, a searchable list of all bans and their reasons can be found at: [https://bans.siriusmc.net/](https://bans.siriusmc.net/)

<div id="bkmrk-how-do-i-appeal-my-s" style="border-left: 4px solid #a855a0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden;"><div style="background-color: rgb(71, 51, 85); padding: 6px 16px;">**How Do I Appeal My Sanction?**</div></div>If you feel you have been sanctioned unfairly, or believe the sanction issued to be too harsh, you can request a review by submitting a ban appeal. A review may result in one of the following outcomes:

- Sanction being rescinded (i.e. Unbanned/Unmuted)
- Sanction length being reduced
- Sanction length left unchanged
- Sanction length being increased

<p class="callout warning">Warnings cannot be appealed. Only Bans and Mutes are eligible for appeal.</p>

- You only have **one opportunity** to appeal your sanction. Any further appeals will be automatically rejected.
- Make sure your appeal is honest, clear, and respectful. Appeals that are disrespectful or dishonest may negatively impact the outcome.
- Ensure you have reviewed the ban reason at [https://bans.siriusmc.net/](https://bans.siriusmc.net/) before submitting.
