i understand the rules, i know they exist for specific reasons, but i do feel a perma ban is excessive and this is why:

it's an easy thing to fix. just uninstall the skins. now the rule has been specifically and explicitly described and a point made. it seems to me that Slipstream was not KNOWINGLY and PURPOSEFULLY gaining an advantage through these skins, and i believe that part in the rule (knowingly and purposefully gaining an advantage through the use of skins) is implicit in the definition of the rule. accidental breaking of the rules should never be punished by anything more than a slay in my opinion, but a repeat offender displays deliberation in the rulebreaking activity, and in that case such a penalty as an extended/perma ban would be necessary. i don't know what this player has done in the past, and i'm not taking that into consideration. however from what i have seen on here, i think a perma ban is excessive. i know i haven't been here the longest, i know my input probably doesn't mean shit, but i had an opinion and i thought i'd share it.

@Slipstream: the models do give you an advantage over other players, whether you intend it in such a way or not. you should uninstall player skins for that reason, simply for fair competition. i would rather get shot by a teammate every now and then instead of having a guy obtain an advantage over me through the use of skins and i think 99% of the population here and elsewhere would agree.
