Hi there,
we had a topic called "
Unban Key" recently. It contained an extremely dubious idea of granting rich
kids persons an ability to drop their ban immediately. But fortunately Jonne said "I don't care too much for money, money
can't buy me love" and the topic was closed... Indeed, I wouldn't be able to love a server which was made for making money instead of trying to build little gaming idylly on the Internet.
Anyways, a nice, rational and old idea was expressed there by YoMama:
I don't like the unban key idea, but I do like the idea of chronic offenders having to buy their VIP back. It would accomplish the same thing, while not giving the wealthier players the ability to flaunt server rules.
Long ago I've got a thought of another kind of the "unban key". I thought that persons who are getting banned the second (or more) time should pay (say, half of VIP status cost)
after the decision about their unban is made and the unban date has come, but
before being actually unbanned. It would be like a compensation for the offence towards the server and the whole community...
But my idea would cause injustice. Not everyone has money for games, not everyone has access to any sort of online wallets. Removing VIP status is different: if a person bought it once, it wouldn't be too devastating to pay once again. My point is that the punishment for hacking should be real and sensitive. It shouldn't only be discouraging and dangerous beind a hacker - it should be shameful, publicly censured. It should be considered indecent and vile to use hacks against the others. Unfortunately, we're
too far away from that yet.
Anyways, what do you think?
Thank you.
