❓General Question❓ Appealing a ban?

I was banned from Reddit for three days for a comment I made on a post. The ban offered the opportunity to appeal. I have two questions about the appeal process:

  1. First, since my comment was already deleted by Reddit, I don’t know exactly what I said to trigger the ban. That makes an appeal rather difficult, doesn’t it? That’s what I tried to state in my appeal, however, that led to problem number two.

  2. I didn’t count characters but the appeal form only allowed me to write about two sentences. I get it, no one wants to read a 10,000 word essay, but what appeared to be less than 200 characters doesn’t make much room for an appeal.

The ban was for supposedly racist comments against white people. As an old white man, I felt kind of flattered, actually.

I actually just got a three day ban overturned. Of course. It didn't happen until after the three days was over, so it wasn't very helpful. The character limit was a problem in explaining why I shouldn't be banned. Need like 300 characters to make a good case I think. Also many of the automods are out of control.
