There is no way at all we can have a set amount of points for every single rule break, that would definitely be unfair as serial rule breakers would be getting the same punishments as people that barely break the rules.

No, what i mean is, the current (first) ban time is one day, (which is when you get 9 points iirc?) anyway i think that should be drastically increased, maybe to a week or longer, that way people will tone down the behaviour because they know they're going to get banned for a lot longer than a day, i know when i get banned idgaf, I'm at work 10 hours a day, sleep 8 hours a day, so theres only really a 3/4 hour window where i can't post

So your first ban would be a week @ 9 points
2 weeks @ 15 points
30 days @ 20 points

etc etc

and re; it not being fair to people who don't break the rules, if they're not breaking the rules often, it's likely their infractions will expire before they get infracted again to take them to a ban, whereas people who do it a lot, would be banned for a lot longer for doing the same thing over and over
