[Jammin]

In all honesty, I find a jump from a 7-day mute to a 30 day ban quite excessive

This is my fault btw, though I think it takes like 5-6 warnings before you get to this threshold. Reduction to 2 weeks sounds reasonable, but so does a denial.

Assuming Kap/Reina still use the same system more or less, bans don't come from thin air. It takes multiple warnings over a short period of time before a ban is issued. Over time, past issues have less of an impact on bans.

Frankly this is a case of fuck around and find out. Randomass pings are annoying. When an unpaid staff has to spend multiple days moderating your behavior, it shouldn't surprise you how things end up.
Just because you don't like or agree with the rules, doesn't mean you should rebel by breaking them. If you think something should be changed, post in here. Not that hard
