Ban requests should stay, they are useful in certain situations. I like the idea of having a format. All other apps do, so why not ban requests +1

 

If they were to stay up, then I agree that the format should be necessary. A bit of a change in policy is needed.

 

What if we give it more flexiblity like 3-7 days

 

Could do

 

I request bans because... well, why not? This game isn't addicting at all to me. It's just fun to request bans. But anywho, I think it's fine the way it is. Not a whole ton of people do it and staff can more than handle it.

 

-1.

Some people have an addiction, yes. But they only need a break. Addiction is fine!
So simply make it from 3 days to a month ban so people can feel their break. Allow it to be appealed without need of explanation. And have a ban request cooldown before next request.
If people cant control themselves, asking from someones help will end up them being crazy of not getting what they want. It is easier to ask for simple help like a ban request.
