In my opinion no one should ever be “banned” from a game they bought unless the action is vehemently abhorrent, such as threatening another players life, severe harassment, blocking them completely from playing the game such as completely enclosing their base aka griefing. Stuff like that. Blocking a boss spawn or specific low yield resource should get you a WARNING, via email and in game when you log in for say a week or 10 days. So that the person who caused the infraction has a chance to make a change. Unlike alot of people, they may not understand the rules or have had a chance to read them, as most people nowadays just click through pop ups and such without reading them. If say after a week or like 10 days (length of decay timer) they have not made a correction, the admin should remove the offending structure, but not completely ban them from playing the game at all. Thats kind of ridiculous. Especially when we have players on servers who go around and report every single base because those people get a weird kick out of seeing other people suffer. I have seen this first hand on official servers, where a expletive player went around and reported every base and got multiple people banned who either had not done anything in my opinion to warrant a ban or barely crossed the grey area of the TOS and completely lost their ability to play the game ever again.

How would you feel about getting banned when you felt innocent. Hell, Ive seen players get banned for spicy language in chat. We don’t live in a care bear world, and conan is definitely not a care bear fictional world. That type of action by admins is totally ridiculous. If someone is being spicy in chat, give them a warning and block them from posting in global chat for a week.

People should be given the chance to make corrections and redeem themselves. We dont take people out back and put them down when they break the rules, we send them to prison for an appropriate mount of time based on what they did to give them a chance to change their ways. Only in the most extreme circumstances should a permanent ban occur or even a 1 month suspension. The ToS needs to be COMPLETELY redone with very clear specific rules, and everyone needs to realize we all need to live together and get along and share this world without fear of being removed from it for minor mistakes.
