I personally beleive that the ban appeal section should be made an Admin/Moderator only section due to the fact that they are confessions and should be private as in, from my point of view it is basicly Privacy Invasion.....
A ban appeal is for a person to appeal to a ban, and this is supposed to be private....
This is just a suggestion
Now i understand if it was Admin/Mod only section, you would only be able to post in it, normal users shouldn't be able to view it, that includes VIP's and Vets.
