Banning mistakes: Unbanning without consequences for the victim.
I accidentally banned a normal chatter when banning a bot that was above them in chat and despite me unbanning them, they still got consequences from it (like getting a suspicious user warning on them in other channel's chats or any other things I may not be aware).
I'd love if there was an unban that wasn't a "second chance" to a user but a complete clear of a potential human error from a streamer which gave no consequences to the victim of the accidental ban!

Accidental bans can be frustrating, especially when a normal chatter is caught up while targeting a bot, and even after unbanning, the user may still face unintended consequences like suspicious user warnings or other restrictions in different channels. An ideal solution would be an unban system that not only restores access but fully clears any record of the mistake, ensuring the victim suffers no repercussions from a human error on the streamer’s part. This kind of feature would greatly improve fairness and trust in moderation tools, similar to how real-time transparency is provided in public monitoring tools like Sheboygan Fire Scanner https://sheboyganscanner.net/sheboygan-fire-scanner/ that keep users fully informed without affecting innocent bystanders.

Accidental bans can have lasting effects, even after a quick unban, which is unfair to innocent users caught in a streamer’s honest mistake. It would be great if platforms offered an unban with full clearance—not treated as a “second chance” but rather a total removal of any flags or penalties, especially when the ban was clearly unintentional. This way, the user wouldn’t carry a “suspicious” label into other chats. For example, if someone shared a harmless link like https://blockblastsolverpro.com/ to help others with game strategies and was mistakenly banned, there should be a way to fully reverse that without lingering consequences.
