+1 a 5 day ban is way too long imo, a 1 day ban would have sent the same message while also allowing him to return sooner. I see long bans as a tool to keep minges away for a long period of time so they get bored and don't bother coming back. Before anyone says that we should treat minges like everyone else, I disagree in regards to banning. We ban minges because they will most likely be repeat offenders and their intent is to ruin the fun for others on the server. Situations like this or what happened with gears are incredibly different as it was a one time thing that most likely won't happen again. Its not necessarily about their rank or time spent on the server, we just know that people who have played on the server for a while and done a lot aren't likely to attempt to ruin the fun for others.
I just think intent should be taken into account when banning
