Dear Devs, 001 can be a very toxic environment. I know that demoting people when banned is supposed to be some sort of punishment, but it doesn’t last. Seems to me, if there are repeat offenders they should get a BLACK ribbon that can never change. That would be a win-win – you continue to keep them in the game and the rest of us know who to avoid. Let’s call it “The Ribbon of Shame.” ---

Repeat offenders already get more than a black ribbon, they get a permanent chat ban. No point in playing into their game by letting them show off a black ribbon trophy. ---

How many bans or under what circumstances is that done? ---

> [@DAeron](#): > > How many bans or under what circumstances is that done? I somehow doubt the officials will enlighten us with the details. It deems to be something like a few days for first offense, a few weeks for second offense, permanent afterwards. Probably subject to how severe the offense was. ---

In the mean time, BLACK RIBBON!
