[FEEDBACK] Redemption for Striked Accounts

[Liam_Harper]

I personally feel botting should be an instant permanent ban. I can understand the leniency can help some players learn from their mistake and become better people, I don't mean to sound harsh, but it also serves as a one-time free pass to bot. Basically you can bot all you like until you're caught, then you simply lose your free-pass and return to playing normally. Since there's a very high chance you'll never be caught and it's risk-free the first time even if you are, there's a huge incentive to bot. Of course, in the case Enix made it a permanent ban, they should be clear that bots and hacks are zero tolerance.

I fully agree harassment strikes should not be anonymous. It's also fine you get second chances, people do say things they regret after a long day or when they're tired and snap. It's not a good thing to do but it happens. You should be told what action or words resulted in your strike so you can pay better attention to it in the future. It's like being arrested and fined but they never tell you what for.

It's very reasonable to make botting an instant permaban. I don't disagree with that notion, Square is very forgiving with that as it is. The points you bring up against it make a lot of sense.

Harrassment strikes are anonymous to prevent indirect harrasment. This has happened before and this is why SE stance is firm on it. This is why SE only states what rule you broke. if a stream was used, they will ask you to delete all videos as well on the streaming site. Personally I think its a bit much but I see why its anonymous. people of have done crappier things when they find out who got them in trouble.

I do believe they the rules need to go both ways though. If a person makes a report of being harrassed and it turns out to be falsed, they need to be slapped with a strike just as well.
