I'm not saying this should apply for every single ban on MCNR, only where appropriate. For example, if a player is banned for 6 months, they can reduce their ban by paying a 'fine'. Again, if a player is permanently banned, at the discretion of staff, they could pay a 'fine' to get an unban.

Pros:
* Extra revenue for Mike & MCNR
* Players are unlikely to rulebreak again if they have to pay for unbans
* Acts as both a punishment and deterrent
* Also acts as compensation to the MCNR community for rulebreaking
* May reduce amount of stupid and painful to read unban requests

Cons:
* Creates a conflict of interest between Mike & players
* Players from certain countries may not be able to afford an unban
* Players with a lot of disposable income may not give a fuck and rulebreak continuously, then unban continuously
* Could lead to chargebacks (Instead of using Paypal+Stripe, use Square as they do not charge a chargeback fee)

Cons: surely nobody is actually sad enough to pay real money for an unban

+1,mike will get rich

I didn't see this, but I get why staff don't like the idea of reducing unbans.

Still, there's some players that can't get away from MCNR and WILL evade their bans. When they evade their bans, they treat their accounts as temporary and WILL rulebreak and ruin the experience for players.

This would reduce the amount of 'dickhead' ban evaders as they can regain access to their account legitimately, whilst paying a 'fine' which would deter them from rulebreaking again, whilst compensating MCNR for their BS.

It's not. Cheat, and you get banned.

At the moment, if a player is going to say "I promise I won't do this again" and does it again, they'll get a permanent ban. Then they will just ban evade + cheat even worse, in a retaliatory way - completely ruining the experience for rule-abiding players.

If a player pays for an unban (at the discretion of staff) then does the same rulebreak again, then, at staff discretion, they should be charged an even higher fee for an unban. If they continue - it's more revenue, more compensation, and more punishment to their wallet.

good luck this time 👍

even if i somehow ignore the fact that this will mean that you can pay to use aimbot and all sort of cheats, at the end of the day, its the staff (moderators, admins and managers), that collect the evidence to ban a cheater, and youre telling me that all the money will be going to mike XD? if this has even a slight chance of my support, it will only be IF THE STAFF TEAM gets equal money for the unban, because we are the ones placing a ban that is being revoked because that guy gave money to mike, which makes us look like idiots.

Highly doubt that macro and jastak'd be happy and even me but the fact is I'm not going to evade the ban.

Anyways +1, for me it's very good. BeatEn $10 are enough or more?
