But your first step should always be discussing it with the admin that blocked you - staff generally won't interfere with local disputes. You can message the admin here on their wall on Community Central; make sure you are polite and non-confrontational. However, if they don't want to unblock you, you won't be able to return. Also remember that you may call the block unfair, but the admin may have a perfectly reasonable cause to block you. Take a good look at your own actions.

Badges are automatically removed when you're blocked. If you are unblocked or if your block expires, they will show up again.
