Punishments

[Create]

Punishments are deemed differently by every staff member. Imagine if every single ban was to be discussed by 2 or more administrators, that would be ridiculous. It is not that each case is different, because they can be similar. It's that each staff member is different, we do not share the same opinions on certain things.

When punishments are handed out, we (well, at least I) take everything into consideration, bans, blacklists, hours... And so on... Which usually leads to different ban lengths.

But how is that fair towards the playerbase? The rules shouldnt be a matter of opinion, but of facts. I dont expect that you guys come up with exact the same ban length but in my opinion the ban lengths are simply differentiating too much lately.

Cant each 'offence' be categorized and each catagory given a certain ban period, with a maximum punishment and minimum punishment so that the punishment arent dependent on which staffmember youre dealing with.

This was often the case back in 2016 with the older staff team after the split.

FearRP - 12 Hour Ban/6 Hour Ban (If user is new)
FailRP - 12 Hour Ban/6 Hour Ban (If user is new)
Powergaming - 12 Hours Ban/ 24 Hour Ban (Dependent on situation)

These are just some of the punishments (I don't think this was a specific quideline, however it was somewhat known between the Staff and Community that these were the punishments) , and they were fair. There was no sense of unfair or bias punishment as it was very similar between everyone, and in my opinion, it worked well.
