My account, PrinceAlbatross, was recently temporarily banned, for something that I (basically) had nothing to do with. This, being a Sugarcane Auto-Farm.
I feel that, the course of action, previously mentioned as a temporal ban, (1 day to be exact), is far too severe a punishment.
I do understand, that if a rule is broken, that action needs to be carried out against any individuals who in any way interacted, or were involved in the situation in which a rule was broken, but I feel that an instant ban, without any fore-warning, is not an acceptable reaction.
If there is a warning, or a jail system, then use it. If a user breaks a rule, give them a warning, or put them in jail (for however long is necessary), and explain to them, that what they did broke a rule, and why it broke a rule. Don't just ban them.
I personally know, that if this issue arises again within my faction, I will attempt to make sure no one is punished, and by the example of my account ban, to destroy the auto-farm, or inform the creator that they are prohibited.
But just banning, without any warning, does not teach that person a lesson. It just irritates them. Just a sudden ban. No feeling of, "oh, I better not do this again, or I'll get banned", no, just an instant ban.
And, there have been people that have said to me, that I got off lucky, saying that "1 day is quite a short punishment for that". Just because my punishment is shorter than it may normally be, or it may have been in the past, does not mean that I may not complain about the course of action taken against me, or the justification of it.
Another thing, which I would suggest, is adding some sort of evidence in the ban message, such as "evidence found in chat logs", etc, because otherwise, the person banned (or just punished in general), may feel that they were punished without evidence, and through simple allegations, or speculation/possibility. (No, I am not accusing any member of staff of punishing a user, without any definitive evidence, I am simply stating, that a user punished, doesn't know this evidence exists).
I think that basically covers everything I wanted to say, but I've probably forgotten a point or two. Thank you for your time, I hope my thoughts are considered.
Edit:
Just remembered a point.
Many new players, may get banned for small things, and this may severely put them off playing on the server in the future. If you just joined a server, and got banned for something small, and simple, would you really want to play there in the future?
I think that it not just effects the players negatively, but there is also a lot of ground of it negatively effecting the server's player-count, which is something that I'm sure everyone opposes.
