Instant permanent ban from me for that. I would salt the fucking earth where that seed grew. I'd go through logs to see if they had friends.
I should have just did a permaban when looking at it objectively, but I'm trying to balance being inviting and lenient with being safe and welcoming, so I give most players a second chance after X among of time. I like having the ban hammer, but I would rather not use it. A deterrent, really. If the one temp ban scares the four into not being little shits, I've done my task.
As time has gone on, my temp bans have gotten longer - first was, what, 48h? Then a couple for 7d. 14d is the longest (temp) ban I've handed out.
Leniency is good, and speaks well of you. I tend toward a zero tolerance policy on sone things - there are other servers, the lesson can be taken with them and applied elsewhere.
But if you're willing to put in the time to teach, then that is good.
