More in-game punishments over bans

[DioChasek]

i think it could be made to work as like some kind of european extreme hard mode you could waive the right to appeal and instead:

you spawn in as a fat little blobberman (how hp, low stamina), you have 1 arm, you can't talk, or emote. your objective is to survive a round without dying. surviving a round subtracts x amt of seconds from a potential ban. if you die you harmlessly explode into a pile of snacks, drugs, and money therefore encouraging people to hunt you down and prevent you from fulfilling your objective. you would only be able to play once a day too. just make it miserable to play

Having players (that got in trouble likely due to griefing) only way to play is one where the crew is directly being antagonistic towards them and they cannot interact with the crew seems like a terrible idea and one that would prime people for even worse habits.

like what? if i had to suffer like that and (if in this hypothetical i cared enough) i would probably re-think what got me here in the first place

Sadly though the number of people who wouldn't re-think their position would likely outnumber those who would. People as a whole are stubborn.
