My suggestion is that instead of traditionally banning players from the server, staff have the option to teleport players to a jail located at spawn.

Upon teleportation, the player would be prohibited from speaking in chat and using any server commands including but not limited to: home, trade, and msg.

The jail would be a room located at or near spawn that is publicly viewable. Entry or exit of the jail would not be permitted.

The goal of this change is to publicly humiliate players who have violated the rules in a way that is different and fun.

I welcome your criticism and feedback.

Edit: Just to clarify, this suggestion would give staff the option to alternatively punish misbehaving players. It would not require staff nor would it get rid of bans.

This will NEVER get accepted. Ever.

But if you are banned why would you even log in/stay logged in?

Giving the banned member the ability to:
A) Give away credits
B) Talk
C) Cause server lag with possible proceeded exploit use.

Is something I think won't help anything.
I don't see a point in this, sorry.

The idea is they wouldn't be allowed to do anything but stand there. Talking or giving away credits wouldn't be allowed.

This suggestion would give staff the option of placing a player in jail instead of traditionally banning. It wouldn't require the use nor would it get rid of bans. Consider it like a timeout for minor offenses.
Players who exploit would still be banned.

Thanks for your opinion, no need to be sorry.

I for one, think that this would be hilarious if it were implemented. That being said, it seems pretty unnecessary. I also can't shake the feeling it could inadvertently glorify banned players and rustle some jimmies in the community.

Yes, do this. Then let players egg them as a form of torture.

While I know this would never happen, I would actually find this pretty amusing...

This won't happen, but I admit it would be funny.

one of the rules of minerealm is to Respect all mods and players

to publicly humilate someone is to do the exact oppisite of this rule and would be considered by many as bullying and harassing.
