the concept of banning

almost 8 years

you know whats a cool thing to think about

everymod's favorite hobby, banning people

so here's the paradox: you ban people so that they can't cause trouble, correct? so, they come back on an alt and don't cause any trouble, but you discover that they're a "banned user," so you ban them again. but wait, why ban them if they aren't causing trouble? and why are they even a "banner user" if they aren't causing trouble?

i think that permanent and even simply long bans are illogical because at some point in a ban someone will inevitably reach a point where they stop bothering to cause trouble. otherwise they could just use vpns forever. really, banning serves only to inconvenience people who are least dedicated to causing trouble and challenge (unsuccessfully) those who aren't

so we should abolish banning users for longer than a month and exterminate the concept of a "banned user" which is redundant considering once an alt starts causing trouble you can ban them on that premise anyway so why does it matter

If you kill a person once, but then escape the jail and kill no one else, then does that make you good person who won't kill anyone else ever again ?

SirAmelio is right :) And everyone knows it . Banned and Ex-Banned users are site-wide cancer that likes to slowly kill the website from within.

If you killed someone, you stay in jail, and you do not try to escape.

If you try to escape the jail, we add you more years to your sentence.

You already broke the rules once. Even if you are a good person now and do not break the rules, those things never go away. They are part of you forever.

there are a lot of banned or ex-banned users that when they come back in alts they cause trouble, trouble that can just be prevented by banning them on sight instead of having to wait until something actually happens.

The people that got banned "forever" were banned for a good reason and there are very few of them who would come back and not be a bad user.
