Aren't you an advocate for consistency?

Punishment was fitting, -1.

Maybe if you read my suggestions instead of skimming them only for something that supports your argument. And no, you misread the entire point of it. The issue is that there ISN'T consistency on the server and that a donator or someone who has been on the server longer would not be punished for the same things I've done. And that wasn't asking donators to be punished, but rather that new players are far more likely to be punished harsher for the same things that regular players do.

My entire issue is that punishments are far too extreme given the process used to determine whether or not someone has created issues. Creating escalating punishments is a much better format than viewing it black and white.

Just adding this regarding the "new player" argument, I'm a newer player and don't really know the community all that well. But I find that the easiest way to avoid punishments, whether they be slays, bans, etc., is to not RDM. The community makes it clear that RDM's are not tolerated, thusly we choose as players not to do so.

That being said, for what my opinion is worth, I'd favor a reduction w/ a slay/RDM instance (or some appropriate number), since this is a first offense/bad day, and because Jesse favors a reduction. But it really isn't that hard to not left-click when inno.

Plus, bear in mind that the consistency issue among punishments is a separate matter. This thread discusses the issues surrounding your specific case. Potential systemic issues regarding staff inconsistencies are a seaprate topic. Generally, inconsistencies are more with how much mercy is granted, rather than punishment level.

-1 on unban
+1 on reduction w/slays

I appreciate you reading everything and taking a look at it. Regarding the systemic issues mentioned, I have posted in the thread here if you would like to take a look, https://www.dinklebergsgmod.com/site/sho...6#pid92796 , the reason I mentioned that here was because squid had previously viewed what I posted in the thread I've linked, before he made a response and he directly was trying to comment on the separate thread, inside this one. But yes, I agree it is a separate matter and that's why I have posted the meat of my thoughts on the subject on the other post.
