I somewhat agree, but the only worrying issue is I'm banning 10+ people a day and that's just 1 mod. No one ever asks about having a DNT applied, new users don't know about the pardon system little known the DNT system. I'd like to push something that encourages people to think about their actions and join the community again, because as of right now we want to expand Sythe and make it more cleaner and noobie friendly.
The reason you're banning 10+ people a day is because the site is full of toxic retards coming here to make a quick buck. This will not prevent that in any way. This will not make them think about their actions. Applying a DNT rank instead of banning them will not teach them basic human decency, it will just tell them that and everyone else that because they scammed under x amount they shouldn't be punished, which isn't correct. Nobody ever asks about having a DNT applied because if they had any interest in sticking around the website or gave two fucks about anyone else or how they were effecting people, they wouldn't be stealing from others in the first place; plain and simple. The pardon system is no secret, there's a reason you don't see someone scam and attempt to pardon the next day, it's because they don't give two shits. Saying this will clean up the website is untrue, in fact it will do the opposite. If they scam someone and want to come back after x amount of time has passed that has been deemed sufficient punishment for what they've done, haven't committed additional offenses and show genuine remorse and have fixed what they've done or shown intent to, either pardon them or if the staff feel they aren't safe to be allowed back into the market yet put them in DNT. People who scam someone surely wouldn't be pardoned the next day and sure as fuck should not be considered for DNT or allowed to remain in the community the
SAME day regardless of amount. If you want to raise awareness the staff can write up guidelines on how long retard scammer A stays banned for committing offense B. I'm sure something like that could be automated to appear on the ban screen/in ban reasons or even pinned somewhere and posted in disputes.
Example:
Scams below $50 will result in a minimum of 6 months ban time
Additional scams will result in an additional 6 months, more if the amount if considerably larger
Additional malicious offenses (framing/fake reports, attempted scams, blackhat, revealing personal information and so on) will also add an additional 6 months or longer if the severity of the offense warrants such (i.e. posting someone's facebook would obviously be less than posting a dox, attempting to create a fake report to get someone banned would be less than creating a fake report against a hacking victim in order to extort money, and so on)
Scams $50-100 will result in a year long ban
Scams $100-500 will be 2 years
Scams $500-1000 will be 3 years
Scams north of $1000 will be 5 years and longer even though realistically we shouldn't be allowing faggots who scam that much back anyways.
Of course remorse, good behavior (not vading/committing additional offenses/flaming staff in disputes for not unbanning them), intent to pay back and so on should also weigh in on whether or not they receive DNT in the end, the amount scammer should only be a bare minimum qualifier for DNT status after x amount of time.
Quite simply put, if this ridiculous DNT shit is going to stay then at the very least everyone committing malicious offenses should face some sort of bare minimum ban. There shouldn't be any form of "oh you only got your greedy cunt hands on $49 instead of $50 you're all gucci, no ban."
