    I can see a (good faith) admin as wanting to do a 1 year ban instead of permanent in hopes that in a year a person will reflect on their actions and have a different outlook when it expires. Though yeah in this case it’s probably just to make people not go as far as they could in calling it out, so they can say “it’s not that bad, it’s a temporary ban”.

      Even if they [a hypothetical admin, not this case] expect the person to reflect on their actions, a whole year seems too long. Odds are that the user will simply forget about the comm/instance and move on.

        Yeah, feels more like they aren’t allowed to permanently ban, so they use the next best thing.
