Unforgivable sins?

[St.Denis]

Motivation is everything. A player that has repeatedly shown to want their own fun at the cost of everyone else's needs to be permanently removed from the community. As a person, player and in the past, admin/dev I've always given and expected respect for and from the people we play with. I would advise this as a guideline.

Don't play nice? If you're not a positive contribution to the game, there's no reason for you to be in it.

I agree but I also disagree. You don't have to respect people. To force someone to respect someone else, The essence of sadomasochism, the essence of abjection. I think that would be a horrible outcome. I don't expect anything from anyone but I can only hope to have the same treatment, That' doesn't mean I'm allowed to kick him out simply because he doesn't want to.

Maybe you don't have to Respect people but it doesn't stop people treating others With Respect.

In history people have been enemies but have respected each other.

Treat others as you would like others to treat you.

As for the Question this Thread is about.

Cheating - ie. DDOS and Hacking should be a permanent ban as long as it is proven beyond reasonable doubt.

For those that prove problematic (the ones that bend every rule they can or show no respect to the rest of the Server/Staff) then the first Offence normal 6 month ban, second Offence maybe a 12 month ban, third time a permanent ban. Most people will learn from their first mistake, a minority will learn from their second mistake. When people arrive at the third time maybe it is time to say that they are never going to learn.
