    When you suspect someone of being highly dangerous you put them in jail even if they are not convicted yet. And when it turns out they are innocent they are released.

    A ban is like jail not like a death sentence …

      Not a bad analogy, but there is a major problem with pre-trial detention being abused in the US, leaving people in jail for years at a time without having a trial. So maybe not the best thing to compare it to.

        No, absolutely the best comparison because the same thing happens with bans and bad moderators who ignore requests and refuse to explain a ban.

        And you can contest the ban and potentially get it lifted and return to the same game.
