Your unban request
Don't write an unban request in a pissed-off tone, even if you are, in fact, pissed-off. n00bfest is not your community, its ours, its not your right to play on our servers, it is completely at our discretion. If you know why you were banned, or think you know, explain it and apologize. If you really have no idea (and you weren't hacking), look at the above common criteria, then ask why, but do it politely. If you were hacking, admit it, apologize and cross your fingers. There is nothing that fuels the rage of all our members than some random player who plays on our server, then is banned, and posts a rude, aggressive or otherwise impolite unban request. If you do this, your unban request will be denied and members from all corners of the earth will undoubtedly reply to your post with unimaginable insults.


Regarding the admin that banned you
If you know the admin that banned you, mention it in the post, but DO NOT, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, call them out for "admin abuse", insult them or otherwise disrespect them in the post -- doing that makes it very easy for the people in charge to simply deny your request and lock the thread.
