TOPIC: punish harder thx

Name of suggestion:
Punish blatant rule breakers harder.

At the moment people break rules because they have no fear of being punished as you can get unbanned from a permanent ban in 2 months. It should be common for bans to be longer than a month for just like 5 recents, and not have lead team up your ass for banning someone for 2 weeks even though they didnt appeal.

lol

Id say that, everything is fine as it is. To be honest.. - Also, having such hard punishments on a semi serious roleplay server, wouldnt be the brightest idea..

that is a big OOF but you are right

the idea of basing punishments solely on recents is ridiculous, if a person keeps breaking the exact same rule with no sign of improvement the specific punishment for that rule should escalate

common sense should come before the ethos; if a guy has 40 warnings total and 25 are for RDM, for example, he should be much more harshly punished for RDM

Allow me to cite the staff ethos:

This is part of the issue I have with the ethos; throughout the post it advises to assist the unconfident/overly harsh rather than commanding as a rule, and it's specifically stated to be a guideline (synonym: recommendation) rather than a policy, however is enforced as a policy.

If a staff member can reasonably justify the use of non-recent punishments in their decision in terms of punishment and can evidence a strong ability to independently think and punish justifiably and without bias, then why should they be so excessively questioned over not following a recommendation (not a rule)?

The ethos as a whole either needs to be 100% EXPLICITLY stated as a policy and reworded to adapt to such a format, or accepted as a mere guideline.
