Submitting an Appeal

What is an Appeal?

When using TECD, an Appeal allows you to provide clarification or respond after receiving a notification that your content, session, or account has been reported and restricted due to a violation of community standards.

If you believe there has been a misunderstanding or an incorrect action, you may submit an appeal for the TECD team to review. TECD will re-evaluate the case and respond to you within 3 business days.

Note:
You can only submit an appeal if your case is not classified as a “SEVERE CASE” (serious violation, such as sensitive content). If it is a SEVERE CASE, you will not see an appeal button in the email notification.
