From what I’ve read, it appears that Dixie Wrecked was never banned previously. According you the rules for flaming and/or racism, there are two intermediate bans before there should even be consideration of a permanent ban. I think there was some jumping-the-gun involved with the decision to start with a permanent ban. A one day ban should have been administered. If Dixie was truly being horrendously toxic, which is not something I’ve personally witnessed, then the 1 week ban should have perhaps been used.
The permanent ban is a grossly unjust punishment in these circumstances and the ban should be immediately reduced to either 1 day or 1 week, as the admins see fit. However, anything over 1 week is simply wrong and a violation of our rules. We made the rules to cover most circumstances and they cover this one pretty well. There really isn’t much gray area here.
TL;DR: Follow what the rules say and reduce ban to either 1 day or 1 week.
