Hey guys quick update that we are changing to our website that warrants a fast announcement. We have been gathering feedback on social media over the past few weeks about how punishments are handled at Badlion. We have always believed in being transparent with the community about who has done wrong versus right and everything being public. While this is still the case it has been made very aware to us that most people don't care about stuff from over a year ago and that we should let the past be the past.

As a result from this feedback on profiles you can now only see punishments from 1 year of the unpunishment time. This goes for appeals as well. You can no longer see something on my profile for instance from back in 2014. No one cares, it's from 3 years ago.

This should encourage players to try and be more positive on the community and understand that after a period of time their past actions will not be held against them.

Just as a quick side note we are looking to heavily recruit over the next month for summer for more staff members. If you have never been banned or have been unbanned for at least 6 months (this includes ip bans) and are interested go over to the application page and apply for staff today! https://www.badlion.net/wiki/staff-applications

So if a player were to get unbanned tomorrow, and a year has passed and the date is March 23rd 2018, (or the day after) will their punishment go away? Or is this a one time thing

It's a rolling change effect.

If you have an unpunishment date on a ban from May 23rd 2016 today it will no longer show on your profile.
If you have an unpunishment date on a ban from May 30th 2016 it will still show on your profile for 7 more days until May 30th 2017 hits.

This is more rewarding for the reformed players.

Exactly. If you were toxic 2 years ago but have been clean for 6 months or so why should your past haunt you? Badlion has been around for over 4 years now.

i get that part, but it seems as if you're only enforcing it from this day and back. By rolling change do you mean that it'll stay like this in the future? (For example, my j7 ban is there, will it disappear when December hits?) or say someone got muted tomorrow, will it disappear next year?

Yes ur JDv7 ban will disappear in December this year.
Someone gets muted tomorrow and the unmute time is tomorrow also (say 15 min mute) it will be on their profile for a year since the unmute time is tomorrow.
