Ban Appeals/Request

In both sections, there should be a sub-forum saying Accepted Ban Appeals/Request and Denied Ban Appeals/Request.

Ban Request
|----->Accepted
|----->Denied
Ban Appeals
|----->Accepted
|----->Denied


Get what I'm saying? It would make things alot more simpler and less complicated instead of going through each topic in the Archive if there was a mistake somewhere.
That's all I have to say, short topic and
thanks for reading.

How does it make anything easier? If there's a problem people often use a direct link to the thread.

it makes sense but not needed really. people would use the read unread forums or search their own posts to check their ban requests.

Also if people want to look at maphack requests lets say to gain experience of how they are done, its easier to click in the approved forum so you know they were done right rather having to shift through ban reqs.

This also goes with appeals, approved appeals generally have decent formatting this will also help users doing proper appeals if this is their first time doing so.

!support this idea.

If you don't like his idea then why not explain yourself? After all it would help resolve this if you elaborate yourself.

I've never really been for this idea (it's been brought up before) because it has never made sense to me why an archive should be partitioned. If someone wants to look in the archive to find something, they don't want to have to search through 2 different sections to try and find their appeal/request.

Many people don't search for their posts, they just look where they posted it, and then look in the archive for their topic. If you implement this, it makes it 1 step more that they have to do in order to look for their thread.

I guess, maybe the OP ( @BouncingHitman ) should elaborate more on why this would be "simpler and less complicated" because, to me, it is more difficult and more complicated then moving everything to one archive where anyone can look to see whether their threads were approved/denied instead of searching two archives for their one thread.

(Also, if this were implemented for some reason, what would you suggest we do with the 3947 Processed Ban Appeals and 4196 Processed Ban Requests that currently exist? Should someone go through those and separate those all out? #strawman #sarcasm #karasuhasnolifeheshoulddoit)

Teller, that's not fair. I totally have a life! I just don't use it much. <3

I'm saying it would just be more organized, if other users would like to search their accepted or denied topic, they would just go in one of the two partitions. It would give less confusion.

Again, you aren't saying why it would be more organized or easier for users. You are making them try to look in two places instead of one, seems like going backwards from organized.

Well the more I am reading your posts, the more I'm starting to agree with you.
