Softening Mute Bans

I was quoting in advice a reference from the podcast "The Church of what's Happening Now" that someone had mention in advice chat. I said " Its wed Cock Suckas "
That's Joey Diaz's fraise he uses though out the podcast.

I understand I'm in the wrong,

But with No Warning and my First Time offense, I find it harsh to hand out 24 hour mutes. This 24 hour mute doesn't allow you to talk in LFG, so with Mid being low pop in the mornings that would cripple you finding a group. In RvR you can't warn people if Hibs or Albs are coming in Region chat. It kind of kills your playing for a day.

I would like to suggest start with a Warning followed by a 30 min mute if they offend again. If they proceed to offend 24 hours should get the point across.

Also maybe muting them from the channel that they offended in. Warn them of the mute first, If they offend a 2nd time in another channel, 30 min mute on all broadcasting channels, 3rd offense your hit with 24 hours.

This has all been resolved, I'm making this post because I wasn't aware of how harsh the guidelines where. I hate when people say "Good way to kill the server" because they think by saying that, its a jab at the Devs or whoever. But just throwing around harsh punishments like this for example could put a damper on the servers growth.

Just a suggestion.. Thank you

Reading the rules is your first warning. Talk to you in 24 hours!

i had a huge comment typed in your other thread but it got (understandably) locked before i sent it.

I don't feel like going into all details again so ill try a TL;DR without showing the longpart:

There are better solutions to handle stuff like this, yes. BUT, they cost time. Staff is already occupied with loads of stuff that keeps them from playing/working on server/whatever else they would enjoy to do. Advice chat is abused all the time despite these harsh punishment. Many people are just too ignorant to inform themselves about anything, they just do what they want and when they do something wrong they expect a warning first.
It's a mentality that i can to some degree understand and tolerate on a freeshards, but it is not like it doesn't exist and even seems to be growing IRL too.
Look at it from staff POV and not from victim-POV.

If I'm looking at it through staffs eyes a 30 min mute should get the point across on first offense. It would get your attention and seems fair.

Stop with the outer world politics, no one is playing victim, again I'm stating my experience as reference, don't get confused. I wouldn't know about these harsh bans if I didn't experience it.

Oh noo 24 h mute, need to spam the forum.
Staff has no time to care about you, and mute you for a reason.

This is a PC server, watch what you say! There is no room for banter, trash talk or any of that on this server.

If you want those things above just go play real sports or esport titles where they embrace this kind of behavior.

Thank you

my first text made it more clear that i wasn't directly only talking about you or about your situation.
Yo seem decent, ackknowledging the mistake and there wasn't even a warning in chat to keep it down before.
You also wrote it is resolved, so whatever the situation is now you worked it out, so i was making more of a general statement about the whole topic, not your situation in specific. Sorry if that wasn't clear
