Its always perma-banning with you guys... I swear every time i go in the servers its just a constant stream of requests for me to perma-ban people for every slight affront they have received throughout the course of the week.
You know, last time i checked, people didn't get sent to prison for hitting someone in the back of the head with a rubber band.
The times I ever had to permanently ban someone, I can count on one hand.
For me at least i feel the punishment should fit the crime...
For example:
A Kick/jail/explode/20deaths etc.: Someone is being an ass, prop pushing, spamming, etc. for the first or second time
1 Hour ban: Person immediately rejoins the server and continues action.
1 day - 1 week ban: I notice someone has been causing major problems numerous times
I find most of the time, all i have to do is kick someone, and that usually is enough to send them a clear enough message and then they stop. It's only in very few cases that i have to actually resort to banning someone.
The only things i ever perma ban for, is DDOS'ing someone, hacking, or is evading bans.
Something that does irritate me to no end, is when a respected user decided I'm just an idiot and don't know what I'm doing, and am obviously going to let this horrid violator get away with what ever that are doing. So they take it upon them selves to vote-ban someone, and 99% of the time, they do it right in the middle of me attempting to kick/ban them.
I tend to revoke people's respected when they do that to me.
Why is this irritating to me? Well, I have an entire arsenal of things I can do to someone to punish them without resorting to banning them.
