Reduced and Lifted Bans

Reduced Bans

A reduced ban will still count towards your current ban time. This means that even if you appealed a 2-day ban and the admin decides to reduce it to a 1-day ban, your next ban will be a 3-day ban.

Reduced bans can only be shortened by a maximum of 3 days or half the ban, whichever is longer.

This change addresses a growing concern from the player base about repeat rulebreakers receiving lighter punishments than would otherwise be reasonable. All bans, including those longer than three days, can still be "-lifted" to zero days when incorrectly placed or other circumstances justify a full recall. This change only affects "-Reduced" bans and does not guarantee all reductions will be a half-ban reduction. 

Examples:
1, 2, and 3-day bans can all be reduced to 0 days, AKA time served.

5-day bans can be reduced to 2 days.

7-day bans can be reduced to 3.5 days.

14-day bans can be reduced to 7 days.

30-day and permanent bans can be reduced to 15 days.

Some permanent bans like misconduct or duping have pre-established higher minimum lengths and are unaffected by this change.

 

1,2,3,5,7,14,30, and permanent bans can still be lifted to 0 days when appropriate.
