Why would you ban anyone who truly deserves it (e.g. for cheating or harassment or sexual harassment) for anything less than forever? What would you gain from giving them a chance to come back other than a high chance for more moderator headaches?
Pshh you’re being downvoted but fuck that. If a ban is legit, make it permanent. Cheating? Shouting slurs at folks? Fuck off, banned forever. Companies used to do that, now they’re WEAK
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.

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.
