make racial slurs a permaban

[mossly 144]

don't see the need to keep the type of player who is going to spam the n word; we should make it a perm so they don't come back in two weeks

+1 I agree but it shouldn't be a perma. maybe 2-4 months depending on how bad and with Admin + Approval

As it stands, staff can already use their discretion and go with anything from a verbal warning up to a permanent ban. However the maximum amount of time a staff member can ban for this, is capped by their rank, so VIP Mod+ can ban up to 2 weeks without further approval, then admin+ can ban up to 6 months without further approval, and managers can go permanent. 

So in a sense, this is already possible, but depending on a staff members rank, they may just need approval to go for the full permanent ban.

The only think I would say is that I do agree with the current system of capping at certain ranks, because every situation is unique and experience is the best way of ensuring that not every player gets a permanent ban. The way I tend to go about it (and depending on severity), 2 weeks is good for first offences, multiple offences is when I’ll start handing out months-long bans, and multiple repeated instances is when I’d seek a manager for special approval of a permanent ban.

I think we do a top-job on Garnet of keeping on top of racism or other toxic behaviour, compared to a lot of DarkRP servers we’re among the best at taking care of these situations and ensuring people know it’s not tolerated, while keeping a calm and professional, fair approach at all times.

To summarise, it kind of already is like this, but with rank caps (where approval is needed by higher ups) and I think the system works well, but I’m not against being stricter either, but without being overly trigger-happy on the ban button.

Neutral for the same reasons Chris mentions. 

This is in our D3A - * Racism/Homophobia/Sexism | (Up to 2 weeks depending on severity) (Can be extended by an admin+)

If someone is spamming the mic saying KILL ALL THE *****rs then mods can ban them and put in the request for extension, but if someone says something like ayo ****a its apparent that one is more severe than the other. There have been cases of me verbally warning someone for that latter, and I still see them on the server without doing it again.

Unnecessary, hurtful, and doesn’t contribute anything. Would be great to see this universally implemented.

Admins can extend the bans past two weeks based on severity and previous offenses. I don't see a need in immediately permabanning for using slurs if its a first offense.
I've seen people come back after their temporary ban, realize they like the server, and begin abiding by server rules more closely.

I definitely mean the hard R saying folks, to be clear
