Normally players don't reply on ban appeals because they know they shouldn't do, but sometimes when it's a player they don't like/know full well what their like, they feel they need to say something when they really shouldn't. As annoying as it is, if someone does it, Staff will just simply delete the comment then deal with the appeal. I mean, it's annoying, but it doesn't happen often.

And like Blake said, appeals sometimes don't get looked at for a little while so trying to do a lock thing/don't see thing might make it worse. Maybe an update on the SLAP rules to state this for the forum? (unless it's already there and I just stupidly can't remember lol)
