Hi all,
My suggestion is to increase the ban time that Admins can give to people. In particular perma bans, if not, up to a month or more bans. Most of the players that pick up 7 day bans (maximum penalty) are because they have, or attempted, to crash the server. The rest of the 7 day bans (maximum penalty) are for violating very strict rules regarding PAC and E2 abuses that heavily affect the playing experience on the server in-line with going as far as purposefully crashing the server. Especially on Sandbox.
That being said, I don't disagree with any of the rules, or current ban system in place as I feel they are already very fair which is why I elected to be part of this community to begin with. I just feel that 7 days is just a slap on the wrist while most other servers perma ban people for such offences.
Could a perma/lengthy bans be abused? Certainly, but abusive individuals shouldn't be admins and we have a much better set of staff (that are more professional) over many other servers that have low level moderators that perma ban without warnings or kicks for the smallest thing. However, even those that were banned wrongfully, or otherwise, have the opportunity to appeal a ban right here in the forums. If getting to the forums is another argument against a lengthy ban for egregious offences admins could easily be required to add "Please visit www.lennyfacegaming.org if you wish to appeal this ban" to the reason. Also, for the most part LFG is indexed and optimized correctly to come up first on a simple Google search. Which is also easy to find considering the title of the servers start with "Lenny Face Gaming."
Perhaps this can be very easily accomplished by just adding an additional admin rank to promote well seasoned, strict rule following, friendly and helpful admins to. It could be called "Senior Admin" or as simple as "Admin+" to limit controls of inexperienced admins.
My primary focus has been eradicating cancer from the community and dispensing of admins that are mediocre, or otherwise abusive. That's why I added this suggestion. Approving lengthy ban abilities particularly to be used for extremely abusive players ultimately results in a much better gaming experience for all the other players that are reasonably following the rules.
If the reason for shorter bans (besides abuse) is to get players back onto the server as soon as possible (and viewing ads to bring in funds to run/improve the server), it should be considered that the server would actually do better if cancerous players are removed at length (if not permanently), so the good players that are actually prospective donors can have a much better overall playing experience. Furthermore, according to Immanuel Kant's (a German philosopher) Categorical Imperative: it would be completely unethical to take money from cancerous players and creating a scenario where the ends justify the means.
