Generally, we'll have a chat before a ban is handed out, unless it's obvious spam or similar.

Not sure about contesting, but I'll try to find out & I'll add this to the guidelines sticky post.
Heherm from experience, when one receives a ban you will be informed of the lenghth of ban and reason for the ban when you try to log in. The reason is rarely, if at all, given. There will also be a link to contact the moderator. This, I assume, is to appeal to their sense of reason & fair sense of play. Again, from experience, dont expect a reply, however DO expect them to share your message with the undesirables within their own forum. I doubt that would happen with the mods on here, but it did on pigmad.
