If reports don't stack what is the point of rules having different punishments for multiple offenses

[Hipstergirl69696]

I'm trying to get myself permanently banned without doing anything unethical. In order to accomplish this, i too a look at the rules, and the following seemed like a promising one:



It seemed like i could just threat to dox and dos someone as a joke, report myself, repeat that 2 more times and i'd finally get permanently banned. So i attempted to do that. First time i did it, i got a 7 days ban. All good so far. But now i did it again and only got a 7 days ban again. Furthermore, when i tried contacting staff to tell them my ban should be extended to 31 days because of being the second offense, i received the following bizarre response:




My question is. If reports don't stack, then what is the point of having different punishments for multiple offenses in the rules? If every punishment always counts as the first, what's the point of the multiple lines in the rule detailing what the punishment would be on "second" or "third" offenses?

You may have misunderstandings about human psychology

Hi there H Hipstergirl69696 !

Interesting to see that you are looking to get yourself banned..

We have a few reasons on why our report system is like this, however we will consider your points and treat this as feedback in regards to our report system.

Thank you for this feedback!

Hello, H Hipstergirl69696 . Attempting to get a permanent ban to be issued on you will not only lead to the permanent ban you want, but it may also lead to a Network Exclusion. A Network Exclusion is a permanent ban from the forums, discord server, and in-game. Keep in mind that behind the usernames, in-game names, and ranks, there are actual people spending their time on providing support to the community members. Therefore for them to spend time on handling cases like this is a straight up waste of time.

On another note, the offenses on reports do not stack mainly because the punishments are issued without prior communication and/or notice to the player, therefore it is less likely the player will have a better understanding of the rules afterwards. Our intention is not just to punish a player because they did something wrong, but we also aim for them not to repeat these offenses. Nevertheless, being punished for the same offense multiple times through a report does lead to a more severe punishment than the ones stated in the rules.

I hope this helped.

If you don't want to play on the server anymore, simply don't come back to it. But don't affect other's experience because of you don't feel like being here.
