Changed my mind about permanent bans after seeing one stat
Honestly, I used to hand out permanent bans like candy to repeat offenders on my forum. Then I saw a post on a mod forum last week that said 73% of users who get a temp ban actually come back and follow the rules after. I checked my own stats and realized I was just chasing people away for good over dumb stuff. Now I do 30 day bans first and it's cut down on drama way more than I thought. Has anyone else seen that kind of shift after switching up their ban policy?

Idk I think it depends on the community. Hardcore rule breakers just come back and keep doing the same stuff even after a month off. My forum has way less chaos since I started doing perma bans for the real troublemakers instead of giving them another chance.
