I might be wrong on this but i think some of the reason seasoned players leave is because sometimes it seems as though certain punishments are really harsh for potential misunderstandings, for instance with vaporwave and aquohn I feel as though maybe in some cases where context can be used to judge the severity of punishments, like say some players join the game and they learn about bets and have the bright idea to start farming tc by bet scumming, if they have no history of prior offences and seem to lack the knowledge of the rule they be warned and have the tc removed from the account but if it happens again they get the full extent of the punishment. and if a punishment goes too far the mod should be held accountable for having a negative bias by other mods as well. people can be friends but rules need to be fair and in some cases maybe a little more lenient.
