You don't know the rap sheet of the user who got banned, you don't know his attitude, you don't know what he has done up until that point, you don't know what he said to warrant such a long ban in the first place. Mass RDMing with multiple punishments on your rapsheet, even more so if there are multiple
recent Mass RDM punishments can easily warrant a one month ban.
That's what i was about to write, you read my mind...
A 1 month ban should only be given if there are recent bans included on the rapsheet. You begin at a few days and work your way up to the month. That's what the ethos is about. Fair and equal treatment. If someone comes back a ban of 5 recent punishments of Mass RDM, then you double the ban length. If they do it again, you do it again. You can't just automatically give someone a month long ban because they have say 5 recents all pertaining to Mass RDM. They should have been banned 2-3 punishments ago, but this is hypothetical.
Richard how about you tell us if he had a recent ban (or just tell us your side of the story) rather than tiptoeing around it and trying to meme your demote request. Like c'mon.
I disagree with this notion. I know what you're talking about doubling the ban length, but imo it has always been a terrible way to deal with rulebreakers. People get chances; perhaps this time they got a little too many, and richie just banned the guy for a huge amount of time that reflects the punishments on his rap sheet.
Hate to bring it down to you though, but the staff ethos is a bunch of
guidelines. Nothing more than that. If they get in the way of protecting the user's experience, you'll get a fucking hell of a ban hammer in your face, that reflects the amount of times you've been a cunt in the duration you've been in the server. Of course, time between the punishments and logic should be accounted. E.g. I'd easily permaban a guy who has a rap sheet with one or two mass rdms on his rap sheet every couple of weeks, because that motherfucker is exploiting the ethos.
Another example would be a user who returns from a permaban, and about a month after being unbanned he starts doing the same shit he did which caused the permaban; you bet that I'd warn the person to be cautious and aware. Next time he pulls some of this dumb shit again, it's a permaban, I wouldn't even give a fuck, he'd fully deserve it and he's clearly not changed yet he's playing on the server with that being the premise.
