Global Global Unban

Suggestion:

Global Unban​

Detailed description:

Suggesting global unban for every user ever banned on PikaNetwork. How would this work? This action would be done by Pika staff. Every banned player ever would get unbanned by this action. Exceptions should be people that has been banned for duping, doxing or if they are blacklisted. People affected by this should be all other ban reasons such as Cheating, Ban Evasion, Discrimination and more. People that are muted temporarily or permanently shouldn't be affected by this action.​

Reason(s):

1) Lower players counts than years back. I played Pika years back and to this day, it's clear that players have bene quitting for either getting banned or their friends getting banned. Pika used to peak at 4,000 or so players at a good day and for the past few weeks it has been barely hitting numbers like 3,000 at weekends, not to mention player counts on weekdays.

2) Old players coming back to play. Old players that have maybe been banned would come back to play again. This would mean more players for Pika in general.

3) Alt accounts banned for ban evasion would be available again for their owners to use.

4) Same idea has been executed on Jartex recently and got a lot of attention on the server.

5) Potential for old players. Maybe some hacker from 2020 is now better person and can only be a good thing for the server.​

Example(s):

Player <Cxrtex> being unbanned because of X-ray months back, now bought $50 worth of Pika gold to celebrate his permanent punishment being revoked by this action.​

-1 No, this just doesn't make any sense. Definitely not a good idea to bring back players who were banned just to increase player count. Even if this does happen, the majority of those players most likely won't even know they got unbanned.

Elaborate, why do you think it's not idea to increase player count

Remain quiet buddy ain't no one asking for your useless pathetic opinion. Head back into your basement and don't come out for another 10 years.

It does since it will give all players in Pika who have been banned another chance at playing especially if they have been banned for over 6 months, Most people will be more matured and play accordingly to the rules, A great example is me, I have been unbanned recently and I have created an active player base with events giveaways competition and wars. ''majority of those players most likely won't even know they got unbanned.'' I can assure you that I know many people who are banned will re-join the server and will play on a fresh start. It will also increase purchases to the server and boost the economy and create great presence to the server. ''Definitely not a good idea to bring back players who were banned just to increase player count.'' That's not the only point of it, it give players another chance to redeem themselves.

I'm sorry you have a different opinion than me.

One of your examples was to unban everyone who used Xray, what is stopping them from joining again and continuing that behavior? If they wanted to change, they would've stopped xraying after the 1st ban. (The 1st ban isn't permanent which means if they really wanted to change, they wouldn't come back and xray a second time.)

Most bans are not permanent (For the 1st offence) which means they had a chance to redeem themselves already. Continuing that behavior would mean that they do not want to change & do not care to abide by the rules.

It's just a more logical opinion than your useless information next time please keep it to yourself. Truly no one asked for you to even look at this point. Leave the premises

And surprisingly they are unless they have recently changed it.

Some of those offences occurred of certain period of times some being years and some months but , like I said as an example, People who have been banned for over 6 months should be at least given a chance to redeem themselves.

I would like to put my own opinion out there. Also, just to note, this suggestion has already been reviewed and declined by JustThiemo on Discord.

The only 1st offence permanent bans are for Duping, Chargebacking, Ban Evasion, Falsifying Evidence, and Inappropriate Usernames. The rest of the rules provide plenty of chances for the player to change themselves.

This would thus take a lot of time for staff members, and we are not Jartex. We are also not looking for an approach like this.

It also doesn't make sense to unban them after they've broken rules. After all, appeals are meant for false punishments; not for second chances.

It makes sense to give people what they want. This can be done shortly with 40 staff members so if you dont want some overtime work say it that way but this would NOT take a lot of time.

I don't think this is the work of staff members and if you want to unban a lot of people you can also purge the banned-ips file from the server panel

Bro this idea is really cool so it's a +1 from me but I don't think your idea would likely to get accepted because it would be too much work for the staff members to check the logs and unban all the players who have been banned. They would not do something in which they have to put multiple efforts. Still I would upvote this, but I don't think so it's likely to get accepted.

Thank You

-1 After a permanent ban you can appeal after 6 months... pretty sure, but check yourself how it work

There are rules, if you have that superpower to read them, you should not get banned permanently.
The ability to play fair is sometimes just not available sadly and therefore bans should remain. As mentioned, you can appeal as long as you learned from your mistake.

+1
As those players who are perm banned will get 2nd chance and I believe that no one is going to waste their second chance for a perm ban again as a result players will be more wise and will play legit AND those players who got banned falsely though it a legal (i mean if a player cannot ss in kpvp he either admits thinking temp ban or refuses which if 3rd offence leads to perm ban).
Also, not to mention that most of the good pika player base is gone because of this only.
If this gets accepted then, I believe that pika will have over 3k active players maybe 24x7

If, you are just a lazy person accept this aint taking long hours.
I am pretty much familiar with servers workings and devs can easily do whatever they like (from unregistering accounts to unbanning everyone in a click)
So, you just have lack of information so better get info first than say something.
