Any example images: all info provided below
Why it should be added: Currently a large amount of players that just want to play the game get banned for things like small collisions/ accidents / retaliation/ overall small occurrences. But humans make mistakes and that should be taken into account during the punishment and the goal of the punishment should not be to ban them for as long as possible but to show small collisions wont be punished as it is understood that this is something that doesn't deserve a large punishment.
A more accommodating and fair punishment system should be put in place to reduce complaints and the overall hostility of the community.
(Kicks would stay the same)
This system would result in only the worst of players receiving the serious bans and not casual players that make little mistakes.
