If you have a set system people will learn to follow the rules, If someones had a few infractions recently and they're not entirely sure how many points they are away from a ban, sometimes you can just get wound up enough and snap at members, leading to a higher point infraction and thus to a ban, which they wouldn't necessarily have got if they'd have known how many points they were going to get
(am i making sense i honestly just feel like I'm rambling  SEE THIS IS WHAT I MEANT IN THE LOUNGE LAST NIGHT WHEN I SAID I WAS ARTICULATE ENOUGH TO PUT MY POINT ACROSS) |
My suggestion for a system a while back when this was discussed in admin was this (obviously it only works for things people do regularly...)
Say spamming. Once would get a warning, second time would be a straight ban. Third a longer ban, and so on. Slate gets wiped clean if it doesnt happen for a few months.
Same goes for insults, and all other regular rulebreaks
I think that was deemed unworkable though.
