    A lot of people here are getting really sick of all the scammers getting unban after a month and going back to the same thing, scamming.
    Everyone no matter what rank or who they are should get perm banned or get a longer ban then normal (3months) since mods don't give back items that means scammers have an advantage as they can scam the people and give it to a alt then carry on playing when unbanned which basically has no effect on them but us.
    I think we should make it perm or longer ban for scammers.
    (sorry if its poorly worded)

    I think that there should be a in-game record that we can look at to see if the player has scammed in the past. No support on the perm ban tho.

    Neutral. I don't think scamming is one of those big punishments like hacking.

    Not perm ban instantly, but possibly an increased ban length for each time it happens?

    Depends what kind of scam tbh
    I believe scamming for like a MV rank is worth a perm ban as it is very similar to fraud however other forms of scams like in game items should be like Pizza has suggested above

    Neutral, not permanently :P Surely it's not such a bad offence compared to maybe hacking?

    100% support! However I believe that if someone were to scam once then they get an temp ban however if they repeat the same action then they get perm banned.

    No support, scamming should be an "at your own risk" type of rule instead of banning them.

    It's people's own fault that they keep getting scammed. I've only been scammed once, and I've learned my lesson from that. I guess for some people it takes many times being scammed to learn a lesson.

    Neutral. The severity of the scam should determine the severity of the punishment.

    I personally don't think it's worth a permanent ban, no support.

    Sadly it's not worth it for the owners as every permban is a potential loss of income. It will never happen.
