They should be able to receive a ban of whatever length they want but not permanent, because if you offer free permabans (or prama bans were they called? I recall that phrase) then you pretty much have to remove the ban when eventually they'll ask "I won't be able to cope without ac for another day never mind for another eternity, please unban". It means they end up feeling like utter plonkers for asking for the ban in the first place, and it means the ban was a waste of time. If you offer 6 month bans a player they won't feel embarrassed/as embarrassed when they return because they never got the opportunity to parade saying "**** all you addicts! I've made it 100%PERFECTly certain you won't be seeing my ass round here again (but you may somewhere else if you help achieve the total)".
They will think "well if I can just stick it out for this last month then I can show my face again with dignity" or who knows maybe they will have lost their addiction by that time.
