Not to me, it doesn't:

Your block will expire $6. If you do not wish to wait for your block
to expire, you may contact $1 (the blocking administrator) via email
to resolve the problem that led to the block. You cannot use the
'email this user' feature unless you have a valid email address
registered and confirmed in your user preferences and you have not
been blocked from using it. If after discussing the matter with $1, or
if you cannot contact $1, and you still believe your block is unfair,
you may appeal the block by requesting that another administrator
review your block. To do so, add

    {{unblock|your reason here}}

to the bottom of your user talk page (which you can edit while
blocked, unless it is protected) to request unblocking. Please be
aware that abuse of this template will result in protection of that
page.
