Change to the ban system.

[Zephera]

It's a fair system because everyone agrees to the rules when they sign up to play the game. You agreed to the Terms of Service so you have to abide by them just like everyone else. Again, you're not special.

EDIT: Also, if you're on your last strike, that usually means you're a repeat offender for saying some truly vile stuff, so you'll have to forgive people for not feeling much sympathy for your case.
