I will agree that the ban times are harsh; however, the reasoning behind them is to really discourage players from fooling around again. If they're only banned for the time it takes them to do their homework or hang out with some friends, they're just going to do it again without a thought. Because of this, players either get banned once and never do it again, or they keep getting multiple-offense bans with massive ban times; they can't be a menace to the server anymore. This generally results in a better community experience overall by correcting the people willing to conform and sweeping the nasty, stubborn kids out. P.S. The less-serious offenses also give a warning the first time as stated, so there's also that safety buffer.
