    hi, sometimes people get banned for no reason.

    if they’re a repeat offender, ban them again easy.

    otherwise, nah.

    people let their siblings, children, friends play on their consoles.

      Oh, there should absolutely be ways to appeal a ban if you have a legitimate argument, but making it temporary for everyone is just insane.

        bans are already temporary in the sense that offenders can acquire new accounts, hardwares, or networks to circumvent them anyway. all that permanent bans does is guarantee that people who are falsely banned, arent repeat offenders, or even got hacked themselves get permanantly banned.

        appeal processes arent a guarantee to getting an account back.

        Games have much more strict bans than they need imo.

        a lot of terrible chat filters have gotten people permabanned and thats kinda just it. im here for no permanent bans.
