For global blocks, you need to use the contact form instead. You can talk to the person who blocked you via that, or you can ask to talk to someone other than the one who banned you and get a second opinion.

I'd say that overall there are quite a few similarities between the situations. Including, of course, that being polite and constructive when you write, goes a long way towards us working things out!
