Ban / Remove content with a reason and put it in the reason textfield. ( So no "." or "bruh", rather "Rule 1 - Insulted a fellow member" ... )

Avoid permanent bans and use progressive bans instead. 24 hour ban, 3 day ban, 7 day ban etc.. permanent bans just lead to the user making a different account and not learning from their mistake.

I disagree with this. There are some offenses from which we can't reasonably expect people to "learn" from - bigotry, death threats, doxxing, spambotting, ban evasion. These are what permanent bans are most often handed out for anyway. If I saw someone drop a slur in my community, my vote would be to permanently ban them.

You think a permaban will stop that person from making a new account? or probably already having an alt(s)?

[–] TheSpookiestUser 1 points 1 year ago

Not really, no. But it's less bookkeeping that way, instead of having to start a note system to determine how many temp bans you've given the guy spouting racism, and it sends a clear message to everyone else.
