Sorry I stand corrected, it would seem we do have an appeals body in British orienteering but I have never heard it being used and the documentation was last updated in 2008.
The last point is we are all responsible for the level at which we have to be policed at online. If you want to see how a sporting community can debate online with anonymity and integrity I would invite you to visit <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forum.nopesport.com/">http://forum.nopesport.com/</a><!-- m --> which is the orienteering equivalent of a national forum. I think all the policing on here (removal of posts- even if it applies to my initial post! and lack of anonymity) are a function of how poisonous the discussions on here can get and seem to be completely justified by the moderators.
