It seems to me that the ban durations are very front loaded mostly, and then immediately shift to perma bans. Most people are banned for a week or two, or permabanned, with nearly no middle ground to speak of.
From my point of view a better solution would be to generally increase the penalty durations over the board (turn what was previously a week to a month, what was previously a month to several months, up to maybe a maximum of year ban time) to make it hurt more, but reduce the likeliness for a permaban.
Example: we now have a situation with heavy spoilers going arround and it’s understandable that people dont want to get spoiled. It’s definitely debatable that someone deliberately spoiling others should be permed, however someone who posted a spoiler by mistake shouldn‘t suffer the same fate.
I think changing this wouldnt cause any harm, but could potentially help some black sheep to cool down over an extended period (X months to a year) and redeem themselves. And if they dont redeem themselves they can always be permed then.
