Banning people from EM for 6+ months at times, just makes people bypass and throw. This makes the game worse for us all and makes more work for the mods/role mods.
I propose that we have a point system that determines the length of the ban and gives people a leash to show that they are reformed. These points are just starting values, but this will likely need changed drastically before being implemented.
Points:
Cheating: 10
gt vio 2:6, 3:8, 4: 10points
grs 2+: 6
bypassing: 6
sharing account with banned user: 3
harassment/hateful comments: 2
all other vios at each level are 1 point
Points determine punishment when you reach 8 vios: Leash allows players to play ranked and eventually competition when they are under 15 points of vios.
10 or less: 1 month ban or release once the 1st vio runs out. Record is erased on leash after 1month of good behavior on leash.
10-20: 1 month ban or released to leash once 1 vio runs out. Vios worth 1 point are deleted after 2 months of good behavior.
30+ points: 1 month ban. vios worth 1 point are deleted after 3 months of good behavior.
