Mhm. The importance is not that you ban a guy and he comes back 4 years later. It’s *until appealed*. If you wait 4 years, it’s not some bad mod that decided to ban you for 4 years. It forces an interaction. This doesn’t have to be some long drawn out process where the community gets to sit on some non-existent moral high ground and judge you for shooting 3 people. Stop trying to drag out some kind of apology, it helps sure but at the end of the day I just need to believe you won’t do it again. So if it’s a mass unban then fine, but if dudes acting shitty in the unban it says he’s going to act like that when he comes back so of course no. But a lot of people want to play god it seems...
It’s should stay so that there is an appeal process that’s logged. It makes a good history. Rdm should be easier to unban while harassment should be a harder prospect.
TL;DR get off your high horse
