The system gives so many second chances, players here are surprised when they finally get Perma'd
I've been reading threads where players get upwards of 8+ second chances before the perma drops.
These guys and gals clearly got so used to punishments, they lost an understanding of the implied severity of the situation.
Bearing in mind that the vast majority of players either never get punished or clean up their act immediately, maybe all these second chances are doing more harm than good
