Wow wow wow! Big mistake mate, you cant assume people's importance by the amount of mistakes they make/rules theh break.
Agreed that they should learn after 6 offenses, but a perm mute would make them rage quit, then they will tell all their friends who play minecraft that this is a shit server.
think like this, if someone breaks the rules, one week mute is enough to make them quit permanently/for a long time, but if someone actually cares about the server/their progress, they won't have any way of getting unmuted, that' d rage him,
just when he could've gone to other servers who dont perm mute (which a lot do not) he could've done more and got more progress on a game, he'd tell people that this server just punishes stupidly,
now you're gonna tell that people aren't supposed to break rules in the first place
like thats ever gonna happen
go to warning/mute page and see it yourself if people will ever stop breaking rules, most people don't even come back to the server again, if people got 5 mutes (+warn) well then congrats, hes probably a long term member of your server, you earned a player that stayed in the server even tho getting muted for ~40 days in total, and now you want to rage him???
the people who break a ton of rules are more important than most others, in your way of thinking someone who joins for one single bedwars game, then leaves permanently without breaking any rules is more important; than someone who (eg)donated 75€ to the server, got a lot of friends, most likely invited his friends to play with him, he played for 6 years on this server,
and guess what? he has 5 offenses on swearing, flooding/spamming, etc
just because he broke a lot of rules means hes not important??!?? wtf?
