Banned, kicked, or timed-out members can DM Sift and run /appeal. That opens a private ticket channel visible to your team and the appellant.
Banned members rejoining
Banned users are invited back under a restricted role so they can only see the ticket until a decision is made — they are not dropped into general chat.
Outcomes
Approve lifts the punishment. Reject closes the ticket; cooldown before another appeal reduces spam appeals.
Mod tools
Browse open appeals with /appeals and act from the ticket like any other mod channel.
