what's the purpose of permabanning someone, rather than just banning them for a very long time?
giving out a 6-month or 1-year ban for a major offense makes way more sense to me. that way, you can just uphold the ban, instead of having one of these "let's re-evaluate our decision... again" threads pop up every x months.
the threat of a permaban strikes me as just that - a threat. I think using intimidation to maintain order is more effective when you make it more manageable for yourself to uphold the type of punishment you outlined in the first place.
a good professor sticks to their syllabus. a bad student gets exactly what was coming to them, as the piece of paper they received clearly stated on the first day of class.
permabans are not useful. my 2¢
Exactly my stance on permabans.
I'm fine with having him unbanned and having him under particular surveillance for any rule-breaking.
Didn't vote in the poll since I wasn't present in any game where he's posted a Role PM, so I don't really feel as "attached" to the issue as some of you all might be.
