Another note, why punish someone twice
A ban and then an extra slay - makes no sense to me
RDM is not that serious of a offense and I see no need to implement a ban for leavinbg after rdming

There were a few motivating factors behind the decision to remove RDM and leave bans.
RDM and leave bans came around during an era of TTT where slays didn't persist if the person left the server. Slays persist on AHG, so there's no way of using this to evade punishment.
RDM and leave bans disproportionately affected regulars. If a random person comes on, RDMs once, and then leaves, they probably weren't planning on coming back for a while. An RDM and leave ban barely affects them. Meanwhile, a server regular would not only be affected by the full duration of the ban, but they'd also be more likely to rack up 2nd+ offense bans.
Overall, I think that removing RDM and leave bans was one of the best decisions we've made.
