I just got off call with wisdom, here's what's happening with all this:
1. As of right now the ban is staying until we fix the .json problem with the prison. Which will be done by the end of the day.
2. Once everything is fixed, I do not care how bad the harassment or RDM is. You are to follow the staff handbook.
3. Under the staff handbook "Punishment Guidelines" banning isn't even included, so it's an SMT exclusive.
4. The only reason you should ever outright ban a player is if they are a threat to the server (Such as DDOSing, server crashing, Cheating, Exploiting) or a threat to players in real life (Such as Doxxing, IP Grabbing, making real life threats) and when you do ban them, it should be immediately reported.
5. After everything is fixed, DarkEclipsed will be unbanned and placed in prison where this will all be handled properly.
