@Anonymous There are no automated response, that being said, I do not agree with @warslag I would prefer to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I would like to help you in any way possible, I can even help you format your appeals so you are providing the necessary information in a clear way. The team reviewing your appeals have to do that all day, so the likely stick to a basic response of the info isn’t there, or isn’t direct. Here’s what I would

recommend:
Hello! My account has been banned for cheating, but there was suspicious activity in it that I had reported yesterday. I Believed my account was compromised and changed my passwords. I was wondering if I could get my account unbanned, as the person hacking it can’t cheat on it anymore. I can provide proof of my contact before if it’s necessary. Thanks!

Something kind like that that gets to the information and lays out the situation clearly should get a better response. Add more information as you see fit. If you need any more help, just tag me in this thread or DM me.

@BigMacAttack8u I don't think you understand that the "benefit of the doubt" doesn't extend to those who have already been proven to have broken the rules, are now banned and their appeal rejected. All doubt is removed by this point.

But since you are obviously a helpful forum user, I will extend to you the benefit of the doubt and simply give you a bit of advice. Don't let people take you for a mug.

    @warslag Just becase a decision was made, does not mean it was the right one, thats way appeals exist, and why you get 3. Humans have proven time and again that they will always make mistakes before taking the right path. Say @Anonymous did actually cheat (not saying they did), but we gave them the benefit of the doubt and unbanned them, there are two possibilities:
    They don’t cheat again, learning from their mistake.
    Or,
    They go right back to cheating.
    In the latter, we have a problem, and they just get banned permanently, no appeals.
    In the former, we have given someone the opportunity the to improve and learn, and they took it. If we can give someone the opportunity to make better decisions, then we can slowly make the world (or the game in this context) a bit better. Giving someone the benefit of the doubt is almost always worth it 🙂
