majority of the time when people are being blatant cunts in a server, excluding back and forth banter and other nuances, they're doing it for a reaction. they dont care if they're going to be banned or not or if they want to have a good time later, etc. someone like that is not worth having on a (my) server. ESPECIALLY when you can tell that they're like 16+ years old behaving like a 5 year old
when we say we only give out perma bans that isnt ENTIRELY the case (except for a select few users that i know of but they dont really play anymore)
as an admin, I still investigate and still try and figure out context with the defendant and other servergoers.. but 9 times out of 10 they don't care about reparations and want a reaction. So I give them the simplest reaction of all. Bant. Periodt.
