The biggest fix I see to this is to get rid of "staff discretion" completely and use actual baselines for punishments and warnings. It should not be up to one person to assess what they consider harassment/trolling and instead if there is confusion to put it up to a group conversation that INCLUDES the victim.

This does exist for this exact reason

Staff discretion exists because it is necessary lmao.
If I wrote scenarios and punishments for each and every thing that happens on the server, it'd be 50 pages long and nobody would read it. This is exactly what you are mentioning, a baseline for punishments and warnings.

We also have a staff discord for asking questions and discussing things

 You are hyperbolizing my point here; Staff discretion exists to the detriment of guests. I guarantee that you will see more guests banned for map exploiting (for example, this could apply to any rule break) than you would see a regular/donor being punished for the exact same rule break. The whole point of staff discretion is to be more lenient to people who won't be repeat offenders and end up banned, but the issue with this is that when a repeat offender is someone who has just been around for a long time in the community, they don't get punished the same as if it were a guest doing the exact same thing. There should not be a need for staff discretion if the base guidelines were actually followed instead of ignoring problem players just because staff are friends with those players.

I also don't know why you are mentioning a staff discord when that goes against what i said in the last part of my quote, which is that the victim of any kind of harassment should also be involved in discussions regarding said harassment. Keeping a secret clubhouse for staff furthers my point of staff being seen as a clique in itself.

Please don't take this as a personal attack on anyone, either. I'm just relaying my frustrations like the threads purpose.
