Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
Currently, there is not a clear, easy way to find the terms of use or the moderation policy for the site outside of explicitly seeking a forum thread that discusses the matter.
This has resulted in I'm sure a nonzero number of moderation actions that were likely unintentional infractions - someone using a word or phrase that they wouldn't consider "not family friendly" or otherwise directly insulting, or not realizing certain things that are explicitly on the naughty list of player behaviors. I myself have fallen afoul of this, and was prepared to argue my case to the contrary until I closely examined the moderation policy, which I had never seen referenced or linked prior to receiving the strike notification.
There should be a stickied link at the top of every forum page, and the bottom of the website itself, that points to this information - this provides both non-repudiation for offenders who attempt to argue ignorance, and research has shown that clear, consistent, and well-communicated behavioral guidelines *do* reduce the occurrences of poor behavior in the first place.

And I like to add, also make the thread "WARNING: challenging a moderation in Forum = 10 days ban" : boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=119756 available in all languages.
This could be of great advantage for all users as well as the moderation team (less cases)!
