To be fair I feel the punishments given for rules do need to be stricter, would literally lower the amount of rule breaks from active and long standing member of the SSRP server. From what I've seen in the past, a player deserving of a long ban for the things they've done would sometimes have the ban reduced due to it being too long.

Makes 0 sense in my opinion, if staff don't want players breaking rules, then they just have to be stricter but within the guidelines, or a whole rework of how a staff member handles a player breaking rules should be handled altogether.
