I definitely agree with suggestion #3. This has been a problem for at least a few years now and resulted in a staff abuse report against me back in 2017. In that case, the map was on casino and I didn't have the easiest tool necessary to prevent someone from exploiting - the !bring or !tp power. I don't see a reason why to not add it to trusteds. The key would be to just emphasize that they can't abuse the power.
With suggestion #2, my policy is to just regag/remute them when they return after trying to evade. It depends on what gag/mute and how disruptive they have been in determining how long I keep them gagged/muted for thereafter. This one I think can remain a judgment call for the staff member.
With regard to suggestion #1, I think I've made it clear that I'm not a big fan of RDM and leave bans, at least for a single RDM and leave. I'm not sure we necessarily need to add in additional slays because I think that just adds a logistical problem - the staff member will need to not only remain aware that the person has left, but also to add in the additional slays. I can imagine that dury a hectic time on the server, a single staff member might get distracted and forget to do so. Also, the person may leave during a map change and easily be missed. This, in turn, creates the problem of arbitrary and unequal punishments. When the server is relatively calm and has more than one staff member on, the staff may have no issue switching the one slay to three slays. But in the other situation I described, a person might get away with just the one slay. That's not fair and I can certainly imagine it happening.
