TOPIC: Proposal to stop banning people for excessive time

So since I've became an Administrator I have seen various situations where people are banned for excessive time then needed.

The reason I'm making this proposal is because we ALL have to remember that we are a community and by banning a player from one of our servers hurts our player count.


Do keep in mind that there are some extreme cases where this is not valid.

Let me know what you think.

No.

we don't have a problem with the player count on TTT so

I don't get what you are proposing isnt this just what staff do normally? Also the people who do end up with long bans for recents are generally the kind of people you dont want to come back.

Imma be real with you chief

No

1 day for 8 recents

this ain't it chief

First thing. Staff can apply whatever punishment they think is appropriate. Secondly most people ban longer if they see that the person has previous bans. Thirdly, this does not affect the player base but only makes the player count higher as it reduces rule breakers. I personally only ban if they have like 5-8 very recent warnings for RDM. I don't think that they should be banned for having some for mic spam, chat spam and minor offences like that, but as I said in my first point: STAFF CAN APPLY WHATEVER PUNNISHMENT THEY THINK IS APPROPRIATE

It shouldn't be disscouraged to punnish rulebreakers, it should be encouraged.

Hmmm i think you mean for it to be harsher lmao. Especially on TTT.

I think Zarp is way to forgiving with bans as it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: just wanting to add something to this post;

The current staff members usually don't ban people for a very long time if it is not necessary. In the case that they might do so we have the Appeals and the Report Abuse sections. If the said player takes the time to fill out a report abuse or an appeal, then we know that they most likely care about the server and they really did not know the rules (even tho it's their responsibility). If they just leave from the community for a ban of like 3 days then great, minge deterrent. It's basically the same with longer bans unless they get offended by the ban and think it's not a server to come back to in which case we should change the gameplay and actually punish rulebreakers, which will improve the time they spend on the server and make them want to come back. Therefore the idea to not give bans more often / give a lot of verbal warnings is counter-intuitive since rulebreakers will feel that they can get away with it easier, therefore, playing on the server which may increase the player count temporarily but in the long term it will damage the reputation of the server and make players not want to play on it.

TL;DR its counter-intuitive.

EDIT2: (This is only my opinion on the matter)

I have never seen someone give too long of a ban, at times I'm told bans I've given were too short and then lengthen them to a more appropriate length. I remember a user who had returned after a one month ban and still managed to gather enough punishments to merit a two month ban. So in these cases, I think players who don't return after shorter bans (one to three days etc.) wouldn't have stayed active on the server for long anyway, had they not been banned.
