Hi all.
I understand that currently admins do not have to warn or even discuss rule breaking with people because they should spend 5 minutes to read the rules. This leads to situations where people receive a warning (or nothing at all), get banned and then complain on the forums asking for an unban.
Perhaps if instead of instantly banning everyone or giving them a warning and then banning them anyway you could warn them if they seem like a decent player that made a mistake, and then if they continue they could be banned. It will take an additional 20 seconds of your time ("UserName read the rules (specifically NLR) or you will be banned") and save a lot of sour feelings from people.
I am posting this because yesterday an admin admitted to me that "yes a warning would be better", but they still go ahead with warning the player than banning them anyway. What was the point in the warning? Honestly, warning the player THEN banning if they continue seems like the mature way to deal with rulebreakers unless they are just total minges.
And by the way, I think the admins do a fantastic job keeping minges out so don't take this the wrong way :-). I think this will really improve things so wanted to suggest it.
