First of all, let me say that I'm a big proponent of the no boxing rule. I'll also say that I don't play on red, only on blue 99. I agree with the people in the thread saying that a 1 week suspension doesn't really stop people from boxing, as the xp gain they get is worth it.
One thing I considered was a doubling penalty. The suspension time could double every time.
1st offense: 2 week suspension
2nd offense: 4 week suspension
3rd offense: 8 week suspension
etc.
The advantage of this system is that it gives a grace period for people that really didn't know/ are very sorry / had a friend do it, etc. That person takes a stiff but not unbearable punishment and can keep playing. Another advantage is that is stops the serial boxers who knowingly try to get around the rules, because the penalty quickly escalates to extremely severe.
This system attempts to cut slack for one time offenders, while getting rid of people that make a habit out of it.
Thoughts?
