Improve the Discord Trust and Safety team's behaviour, allow appeals for banned users.

The Issue

Discord staff from the Trust And Safety team are ignoring reports from multiple users, and an extensive Twitter thread with reports and evidence from multiple people supports that.

Here's some details. Among others, the Discord Trust And Safety team has been shown to:

-Ignore reports from users that don't pay for Nitro (Discord's premium subscription) and favor those who do, going as far as unbanning the sole Nitro user in a mass ban case while ignoring everyone else. 

-Ignore reports of users grooming children, and also of beastiality content being uploaded (Including but not limited to a report on a video of a male sexually assaulting a chicken).

-Ignore reports on multiple servers focused on people promoting theft and the sale of stolen goods to one another, with payment made through cryptocurrency. 

-Ban YouTuber QuackityHD who was making jokes in a furry-focused server, to existing members' amusement, for "harassment". 

-Ban game developers for "mass raiding" even though one of them was proven to be offline during the entire occurance and another was actively discouraging people from raiding other servers.

-Provide no explanation on the above bans (and many more), simply stating that the banned user's behaviour "Violated the Terms of Service" with no proof included and no chance of negotiation.

-Actively accept sexual depictions of very young animals in drawn images even though all underage pornography, drawn or not, is explicitly banned on Discord according to Terms Of Service. 

-Delete posts on the Discord subreddit mentioning this issue, since all the moderators on that sub are Discord staff.

Side note: T&S Staff, user allthefoxes appears in a staggering majority of these cases, causing massive controversy with their responses, while still failing to address the issue. 

Link to the Twitter thread explaining all the above, and more: https://twitter.com/nickmon1112/status/1092469779137482755

Let's force the Discord Trust And Safety team to change these immoral policies and remove any members with behaviour along those lines. Discord should be clean of all unlawful acts and the Trust And Safety team's ONLY job is to ensure that.

UPDATE: The Terms Of Service are undergoing a reform, to include the aforementioned "cub" content. Now, all that needs to change is the Trust And Safety team's behaviour.
