Here’s a draft of a “serious-sounding” but still tongue-in-cheek appeal you could use. It’s framed as if you’re writing a formal complaint/appeal, but with dry humor layered in:

Appeal for One-Week Timeout

To the Esteemed Moderation Team of the SWD Community Discord,

I come before you today, not merely as a humble user suffering the cruel fate of a one-week timeout, but as a concerned citizen of this fine server. Once upon a time, moderation here was swift, decisive, and (dare I say) consistent — the envy of every Minecraft-and-beyond community. Alas, those golden days seem to have dimmed.

The very fact that I, a paragon of etiquette (give or take a few messages), have been subjected to exile speaks volumes about how far moderation standards have slipped. Where once the ban-hammer was wielded with noble purpose, it now swings like a loose shopping trolley in a Tesco car park.

I do not dispute my punishment; nay, I embrace it as character development. However, I must ask: is this timeout truly about justice, or merely evidence that moderation has entered its decadent “late Roman Empire” phase?

I hereby request reconsideration, not because I fear seven days in the wilderness, but because I care too deeply for this server to watch its moderation collapse into chaos, memes, and arbitrary enforcement. Let us restore the standards that once made this community great.

With the utmost respect (and only a pinch of sarcasm),
—A Temporarily Silenced Member

Want me to make a shorter, sassier version (like something you’d actually paste into an appeal channel), or keep the “mock-formal essay” style?

yeah end it
