This player wasn't given a proper second chance. They were told by admins that a close eye would be kept on them and that is clearly just untrue, he was taking part in training, actually roleplaying and even got recommended. The people responding to this threat keep saying "RDM is RDM" without actually explaining to someone that clearly has misunderstood the situation. Instead they see a negative history from two years ago and take the first chance to get rid of someone who is actually trying to make an effort and reform. Without actually explaining what RDM is you fail to take into account the context of the situation. Neither player were malicous or in conflict, they just misunderstood some rules. Instead of properly expaining the rules you just say uhhh shoulda known, which is a terrible way of approaching the situation. Yes this player has done something they shouldn't have but they didn't know that was incorrect situation, it should have been a learning experience, you shouldn't kick off because someone misunderstood rules, explain to them the rules and if they do it again then take action. This player hasn't been on the server for 2 years, yes they didn't really try back then but they have made an honest to god effort to try and redeem themselves, which should send a positive message and would give the server some good PR. Instead the second they mess up again in any way at all you throw them out sending a negative message to anyone who would consider giving the server another chance after having a bad experience. This player deserves a real second chance where they are actaully monitored by staff so that they can prove they are trying rather than making an effort for nothing because the staff don't mean what they say.
