The first response is "lmao yeah it's a bad system, I would've just banned you" with more likes than most anything else in the thread, followed up by "you know what you did" with an almost equal number. And yes, I do think likes are important- it's a measure to see how most people reading the thread feel.

The system being 10 or 8 years old doesn't change that its been flawed for those 8 or 10 years. The OP having been banned doesn't mean you should outright dismiss him without hearing him out.

I'd like a caring, listening community. Dunking on the guy just because he got in trouble once and dismissing everything he says for it is reductionist and I'm not fond of it.

You could easily have a discussion on the merits of the gaol system, but nobody seems to be interested in actually doing it. Instead, everyone seems more content to just tell OP to shut up because he got punished.
I gave the merits. You don't get instabanned. You get to talk to a GM. Sometimes it reverse the punishments, when things are taken out of context.

You'll note that OP said they have been having issues outside the game recently that most likely involved them saying something in game they shouldn't have. That doesn't change the rules.

The OP was treated fairly. Everyone knows how to contact a GM. Or they should. And GM's usually respond within an hour. Every experience I've had has resulted in that. Sure, they could have a window pop up with a contact GM button. I don't think they use the jails enough to warrant the investment in dev time, but it could be argued.
