Instead of asking for more lenient treatment why don't you work on reporting without retaliating? If people are being rude to you, you can report them knowing first-hand that the GMs will look into it.
Yes, I've been reporting people as they become toxic and say stuff that is report worthy but you need to understand that now I have to walk on egg shells for the rest of my life because of this fear of losing my account. Any rule I break and it's over. I could be joking around with someone who I thought was a friend and they report me for saying something meant as a joke. I'm unable to enjoy the game anymore due to this heavy weight held over my head for the rest of time. Even if I did nothing wrong for 4 years, and one day I slip up and tell someone off again, it's a wrap and all these years and thousands of dollars later, it's all gone over something so small. Others get the same treatment as I do for way worse. The rules should change for telling people off like that. You shouldn't put me in the same pile as hackers, bots, racist people. 1 month long ban each time after in place of the account deletion is a heavy punishment still. 1 month of missing out on weekly and dailys is a crushing loss and something no one will want to have to go through. You can keep the account deletion for those who are way worse like the hackers, bots, and racist people.
