Recently I've noticed that a new rule has been implemented, in which players may not use the word 'hack'. I've seen numerous players get muted for 24 hours just for even trying to say the word. Now, although I do understand that it is extremely annoying to staff and players to see someone being accused of hacking every two minutes, in my opinion, I feel like the punishment for breaking this rule is much more harsh than necessary.
Every single time a player just says the words, 'hacks' or 'hacking', it ends up with an insant mute for an entire day. I don't find this fair at all, since no staff has attempted to at least warn the player or explain what to do instead of saying x is hacking. This being said, I think staff should take it upon themselves to tell a player before muting them for calling hacks. My reasoning behind this is that there may be new players that don't completely understand the rules yet. I'm aware that doesn't give them the right to go on blabbing and bothering everyone but at least give them a chance. Yes, it does warn you in chat to not bypass the filter, and that is clearly wrong but you have to keep in mind that this is a kitpvp server. Even if you don't want them, there's going to be toxic and salty players no matter what. It's just how it is, and there's really no way to change that. If someone were to just join, get upset over a player killing them, and want to accuse hacks, then get muted for it, the player isn't going to come back, which is far from what Snapcraft should be doing.
SC is a community that should only be getting bigger. People come and go, but giving them a bad first impression is only going to be making players go. These players, instead of being muted and never coming back, can be helping the community, becoming staff members or donators.
Even besides the new players, I believe warnings should go for any player, no matter how long they've been here for. People are allowed to have emotions, and although not every single one of them are appreciated on the server, on a kit server it's expected for salt to go around. Hacksacuting is always going to be a thing no matter how harsh the punishment.
TLDR; I strongly believe that staff should be warning before muting a player for accusing someone of hacks.
