As a reference, read:
http://forum.meleegaming.com/global/banned-wtf/I would like to comment on this masterpiece of an unban request:
"BANNED???? WTF?"
The text has got a very emotional title. Using capitalized letters adds the tension that is necessary for the recipient to continue reading. The inflationary use of question marks is another adequate stylistic device. Using only two would not be sufficient as an allusion on the author's feelings behind the essay. Three could be misunderstood as a reference to Trinity, while five and more would be chaotic, so four are really the perfect amount. Making use of abbreviations like "WTF" (meaning What The Fuck, Water The Flowers, Wipe The Floor or Wait Til Friday; however, here it clearly indicates that the author wants the recipient to Water The Flowers) does not only seem sophisticated but also matches the target group, an online-game community.
The economical use of punctuation marks makes the essay harder to understand, which should be considered positive as it encourages the reader to first think about the text itself, then about the unban appeal it contains. That the author decided for exclamination and question marks as the only punctuation marks again puts emphasis on his emotions.
The little brother is introduced as the antagonist. The sympathy is clearly distributed in favor of the author while the little brother seems to deserve hatred.
Using generalizing words like "always" and "you admins" displays that the author is able to distinguish between single cases and universial nuisances.
"Fuck you" is a nice way to end such a professional unban request.
In summary, if this was an unban essay, I'd give 5 out of 5.
GOOD JOB!
