This seems more like TTT thing with your RDM comment and not being happy with the specific procedure that is currently implemented for all staff to follow. Every person knows being racist, homophobic, (hell even being pedophiliac nowadays) is bad and is the new "edgy" the person is looking for attention and just being an asshole. Even then, the person generally has to continually be racist to get a permanent ban for it (generally there are other things they are listed for by this time when this happens).

I am not, nor should the staff, have to continually deal out longer and longer bans for basic rule breaking issues. Things like mic spam, team switching and other minor issues, your notion makes sense, but people who continually break the rules in the matter of ghosting, racism, evasion, homophobia, exploiting etc do not. Staff should not have to continually increase bans on most issues. Hell I do not even remember the last time I banned someone for more than 3 days for mic spam, team switching, time farming etc.

If you go out of your way to ruin the game for literally everyone else except maybe you and your friends, you kinda lose the legitimate argument to complain about a permanent ban. It is not obviously a perfect solution but it has worked pretty well with most issues.
