Other then that, the other rule is to basically play nice. No personal attacks, accusations you can't back up, and try not to curse. Not that hard.
Regarding your appeal question... I tend to give people a fair amount of slack, so by the time an appeal is needed it's probably going to be turned down. As Tahn mentioned, many people are banned for 7 days, and in that case you're probably better off just waiting that out. In general mods will be less lenient with newer members, so if your first post if a drug accusation or telling somebody to "piss off" (that one happened recently) then you're likely to get labeled an unsavory character and permanently banned.
