Unless they posted porn, illegal stuff, or something racist/etc.

C tbh. One of our own just came back from a timeout to apologize for what he said. Second chances work.

Some people reported being insta-banned with no history on those off-site forums where people complain about getting modded on GFAQs.

One of our own

Can you elaborate on this? What do you mean by it exactly (I know you're referring to On_The_Edge as I saw his topic. I'm just curious what you meant specifically by that phrase)

I'm assuming you're talking about the GameFAQs subreddit where every poster there is constantly modded here for racism snd homophobia.

I did.

I had an account that was banned with no history. I spoiled the end of Dante's Inferno (the book written in the 1300s)

To be fair I was on the Dante's Inferno (video game released in 2010) message board.

I never beat that game so I don't know if it's the real ending.

But I feel like that ban was due to an admin's lack of knowledge of classic literature.

Yeah, something like that should've just been a purgatory at best. There's no need to be so harsh on people who aren't habitual rule breakers.

It depends on if they're an alt or not.

"Oh uhh but how do we know they're an alt" you can usually tell with how comfortable and accustomed they are to the website to show their whole ass at the first opportunity, and there's a tangible difference between being new/getting used to a new environment and pretending to be a bumbling newbie who's "just asking questions" because they're not familiar with the environment.

If the new user is a SMALt or clearly someone who's gotten in trouble and is using an alt to hunt for the biggest impact of them being a shithead, I'm okay with clean-history bans. There's also usermaps that mods can use to determine this. But if they're genuinely a new account, as tough as it can be to really discern that? Sure, give them a chance.
