Account Silenced for Trolling. How do I appeal?

Hi there. Posted to an existing thread regarding Worgen players requesting tails. I was not trolling but genuinely curious about the topic. I did research, presented my view in a logical manner without any inflammatory language. I pointed out that there is a community of players who identify as a Furry and presented points of view as to why Blizzard may not be adding tails as they don’t want to negatively impact their game by association.

So how do I appeal? I am not even sure I am silenced. I have a high reputation and have never received a warning or any type of discipline on the forums or in game for that matter. I thought I was being respectful.

I received a system message that my post is hidden and under review. If it is removed I will be silenced and not able to post or start a new topic.

I got a 2nd system message that the post was removed for trolling.

Am I silenced? If I am, will this post even show up. And how do I appeal?

There have been no actions on THIS account to appeal.

Posts can be deleted for a few reasons. Spam/trolling is rather a catch-all.

If you can post here - you aren’t silenced or suspended.

A post can be removed or edited without you getting a suspension on the forums. If that happens, consider at a gentle reminder that whatever you were doing, it probably not a good thing to repeat. It may not have crossed the line to a suspension, but you would be wise to take it as a warning.

I see Orlyia did comment - that you were not suspended on this account. If you can post here, then it is pretty obvious you did not get a time out. They don’t let suspended accounts post at all.

also seeing as it wasnt mentioned here, if you do happen to be actioned on forums for anything, the same system alert that gives you an alert that your post was flagged would also give a link somewhere near the end of it if you wished to appeal said action that goes right to the blizzard CS team that handles forum actions.

otherwise if for some odd reason said link isnt given you can always use the other appeals link someone else posted above too then mention it was in forums instead of ingame.
