Author Topic: Fines/Bail/Bribes - Paying off ban time (Read 32487 times)

Warhead proposed this idea to me this weekend: an option to pay a real money to get a ban lifted or reduced. It would probably be something like $0.50 USD/day. I figured I'd open this idea up to the community for discussion.

Sounds like a good easy way to keep the EV1 servers up to me

Well me personally would stay banned if i had a choice to wait a few days or pay money. But it would be a good way to bring in money for the game.

i think this would be good for some ppl due to he fact they could jus payoff come back and hack again but yet again who would want 2 pay for a ban i could see if u were paying off for sumthing like modified but not hacking bans idk though i think it depends on the scenario

Well, if they paid off the ban then came back and cheated again, the ban time would double (and so would the fee).

I don't like it. For those who have well paying jobs they have no reason not to hack. It puts the young kids who play the game on an uneven keel with those guys. Also consider how many evade their bans. This would lead to some people paying to play again, whilst others now not only laugh at the fair members of the community, they also laugh in the faces of those who pay to play again.

I like this idea allot better than the other one you had. Or rather, your co-workers had.

Perhaps it could be set up so you can only buy off so many days, or have a minimum ban length (like 8 days) that has to be served so people don't take the, "I'll just cheat then buy off my ban and play again tomorrow" mentality.
