Bans are permanent and placed manually after investigation of the account in question. Alternatively, they are placed automatically by the anticheat on PC and later confirmed by an employee on review. The forum cannot lift your ban, but you are able to appeal it. If your appeal isn’t responded to within about 5 days, it has been denied.
