I should have just did a permaban when looking at it objectively, but I’m trying to balance being inviting and lenient with being safe and welcoming, so I give most players a second chance after X among of time. I like having the ban hammer, but I would rather not use it. A deterrent, really. If the one temp ban scares the four into not being little shits, I’ve done my task.
As time has gone on, my temp bans have gotten longer - first was, what, 48h? Then a couple for 7d. 14d is the longest (temp) ban I’ve handed out.
Leniency is good, and speaks well of you. I tend toward a zero tolerance policy on sone things - there are other servers, the lesson can be taken with them and applied elsewhere.
But if you’re willing to put in the time to teach, then that is good.
Instant permanent ban from me for that. I would salt the fucking earth where that seed grew. I’d go through logs to see if they had friends.
