Im still strongly in favor of keeping permanent bans.
When a staff member bans a player on the server, the tagline in the chat reads "Indefinitely!" Indefinitely means "lasting for an unknown or unstated length of time." This is essentially telling the player they are banned "until appealled" The function of this is to let players know that theres a window that allows them to apply for an unban. It is an effective tool in getting to the bottom of ban situations, finding out "did this player have malicious intent?" or other important questions.
Permanently banning players for mass rdm etc, removes a lot of overhead work for staff members. What I mean by this is that if for example we changed mass rdm to 6 months, this means every 6 months or so when trolls get bored again, we wont have to keep banning the same malicious players that decide to keep returning. Staff already have enough ban history to go through, like checking rylo ken's bans and thinking "ok he's been banned for mic spamming 10 times already, do we perma ban now?" imagine if we had to go through that organizational process every single time a serial mass RDMer rejoined the server. Its not worth keeping track of so many frequent trollers.
So to conclude, permabanning serves a a strong enough purpose in keeping the rules and enforcement streamlined and simple. The appeal process is pretty fair as it is right now in my opinion.
