Is there any way we can address this situation in hopes of maybe seeing a few changes if it's something a majority agrees on?
Wave made a good suggestion about having a bit more consistency in times. For example, first time 3 days, 2nd time 7 days, 3rd time 14, and 4th a month. (Just a suggestion)
And permabans - can we do away with them all together for longstanding contributing members. I hate losing a long time member of the community, especially if they just were having a bad day.
Is there any chance that maybe if a longstanding member is up for permaban, it's something we as a community can vote on?
Maybe all of these suggestions wouldn't work but I'm just putting this out there with hopes that we can all come to a common ground that makes us all a little happier.
