Ok, as much as that would be a wonderful idea, the main reason that I can see for it not being that way is because nothing is black and white. There is a massive grey scale inbetween that blurs the difference between too many cases. If someone has teamkilled and been banned for it three times, we're not going to hand that player the same timed ban because they'll only do it again, and if we give them a more harsh ban, they'll pull up the list of ban times and say; "Oi, I thought if I did this I would only get three days out! You gave me an essay ban with 3 years minimum sentence! You don't stick to your own rules, why should I stick to them then?"
It just wouldn't work in my opinion, also, someone who hit four or five people at spawn and left would get the same sentence as someone who hit one guy for an accidental teamhit, which just isn't right. (Again depending on the track record of that player.)
I initially avoided this thread due to conflict of interest with my clan members and I said on teamspeak that unfortunately that because most people didn't find it overly offensive and looked past it, it's rather difficult to place a ban length on.
I have pulled up the logs for the time that this was said to show the reaction that a couple of players had to that, albeit it's a very childish thing to say, but as the rules do state not to be offended by insults and crude statements because we can't police the internet, I am afraid that in my best knowledge of the rules, this player being a complete obscurity to the logs.

He has never been banned and although given the logs state that this player has been around since before 16/06/2011 (when he made his level 21, gen 1 main, a main, he just appears to have never really played the game avidly.
That does not give him excuse or leave to do what he wants, his name is now known and that is not a good thing given it's been learnt in a ban request thread.
I shall let him go with a warning and a copy of the in-game rules shall be left here in order to make people aware. I don't like people running around the servers saying remarks like this, but it is the internet and there are some strange people on here... For example, you yourself Minx know more about me than most people however you know very little in respects to who I actually am. I could be anything or anyone. I would just take things with a pinch of salt! ;)
