Write new appeal system

[Deaygo]

The forums are highly lacking when is comes to appeals right now such as verifying that the person appealing actually owns the account, searching previous ban appeals, etc.

With UUIDs coming into play soon, we will really need to think about what we want to do for this.

It can be likened to a cylindrical, metal container full of tubular, non-arthropod invertebrate animals.

MCBouncer is going to need to log the mapping from UUIDs to names and track changes over time. For a given name, MCBouncer will need to be able to report the time periods when a UUID used that name, and conversely, all of the names used by a UUID and the corresponding time periods.

Moderators will be looking up accounts on the MCBouncer web site by name and their screenshot evidence will feature players' names. I would suggest perhaps adding the player's UUID to the /trace and /trace-r output as that has some chance of ending up in screenshots.

The forums are highly lacking when is comes to appeals right now such as verifying that the person appealing actually owns the account, searching previous ban appeals, etc.

Banned accounts could be diverted to a jail server that could establish that a player is in control of a specific account. It could even have a command to submit an appeal, but the text would be subject to Minecraft's horrible chat limitations.

The only problem I can see that solving is that of people writing deliberately bad appeals to try to keep someone banned longer. I doubt that happens often. It seems to me that if you go to the trouble of writing an appeal, then you are in control of the account, one way (legitimately), or another (compromised account).
