I would like to suggest a small adjustment to the server’s punishment system regarding cheating and similar rule violations. Instead of applying permanent bans immediately, it could be more effective to introduce a progressive system. For example, the first offense could result in a temporary ban, giving the player a chance to learn from their mistake. If the behavior continues, further offenses could lead to longer temporary bans, and only then escalate to a permanent ban if necessary.

This approach allows for fairness and second chances, while still maintaining strong consequences for repeated rule-breaking. It can also help retain players who may have made a one-time mistake but are willing to follow the rules moving forward.

A short temp ban isn’t really a solution, because cheaters could just wait it out and come back to cheat again. If anything, punishments should escalate—starting with a long temp ban and leading to a permanent ban for repeat offenses—so there are real consequences and less incentive to cheat.

yeah but they same applies to almost any reasonable duration. Someone who got tempbanned for a year for example would say "Man I wanna play Loka, just gotta wait a year" then move on after a week or so. Perma-banning players who cheat forces them to have to go through an appeal process, forces them to actually wait a decent amount of time and completely have to understand why cheating is bad, and for punishments progressively getting worse, that's basically how it works. Banned for cheating once --> year wait minimum if not longer until they appeal, Banned for cheating twice after getting unbanned --> Chances are next to zero.
