Helping population - a moderate approach to permabans

[Humerox]

There are a plethora of reasons boxing is unhealthy for server population. P99 proved that boxing was unnecessary; there were heated arguments starting in beta that didn't abate until the population started exceeding two and three hundred regularly.

The problems with server population on Red99 are due to a great number of factors. Introducing boxing - or even becoming more lenient with punishment - would make play viable for fewer people, but would inhibit growth, for obvious reasons.

Rebuilding and attracting new players should take priority over lessening punishment for players that are willing to bend or break rules.
