Some bans are very easy to provide evidence for. Inappropriate names, statuses, pm histories, etc. are able to be logged. When it comes to things like that, staff almost always have evidence to back it up. However, when it comes to situations like hacking, purposefully blocking paths, etc. the staff members have no way of logging what they player is doing (at least they didn't when I was staff). The GP use their best judgement and take action that way. Usually they will provide a small explanation of what was happening and why the player deserved the ban in the account log. When players appeal bans, the person in charge of appeals will look through the player's log and see what the issue was. More times than not the person in charge of appeals will believe the GP over the player, so if a reason for the ban was given and it sounds believable then the player will most likely remain banned.
