Alright, I realize Greyfox has a poor attitude, so don't even bring that up. Moderator Chevy extended his ban from the normal 3 day ban for bug abuse to 7, all because he was banned in the past for it. Never has this happened on LVP. I believe the guidelines are Bug Abuse = 3 day ban.
I'd like to interrupt here and say that the ban time increases as people re-offend so don't say that the guidelines are solid @ 3 days. If I recall correctly, there's always been a sticky in some private crew forum with ban periods, and this is explicitly defined in it. I agree however that a ban for using caps is absolutely ridiculous. Even if muting didn't work, a kick or even several kicks if need be should have been enforced.
Administrators have the right to change the ban time depending on the severity of the issue - such as what words were used during flaming, how someone bug abused etc. etc. That's probably a reason why I'd say that public guidelines on ban times would ever be created - as people would be whining that they've been banned for too long. I'm with the administrators on this one, and if you believe a ban is unfair simply open a CSI topic complaining about that administrator's decision and the Management can deal with it - there needn't be a feud between the you and the administrator in question.
Regarding the issues with a ship grenadier being banned after throwing two grenades - again, that is an extremely harsh punishment.
