Why I Decided to Become an Elitist

I think you underestimate the effect that "You don't get to play this game for a while; keep it up and you never will again." has on a lot of toxic players. Look at League of Legends (which is one of the few games to publish this kind of data): the vast majority of people who get banned once never get banned again, and their rate of reports drops off after their ban ends.

I think you overestimate it tbh. I look at that same info and think to myself "these people got better at not getting caught"
