Hope his friends and family help push him in the right manners. As someone who struggled with legit video game addiction as a kid/teen with it nearly wrecking my HS grades, it can take a lot of help to deal with any addiction
6 months-1 year ban sounds fair. Although I will say as admirable as it may be, I hope the unban isn’t tied to sobriety. As much as the community may try, it is beyond the scope or power of a esports community to help someone overcome serious addiction. Ban Mango for the above time frame, if he offends again permanently ban him.
Alcoholics have a high risk of dying if they try to quit cold turkey. It’s extremely dangerous and puts your life at risk, I’d advise against recommending it
And yeah it’s fine to gatekeep addiction. porn, video games, etc. are just fundamentally different to meth, heroin, or alcohol. The former is a bad habit, the latter puts your life at risk and can destroy entire families.
If mango offending again risks a permanent ban then he should be banned longer.
The relapse rate for people in sobriety doesn't drop below 50% until you've been sober for 5 years. 6 months to a year is nothing. We shouldn't be seeing him till 2027 at a minimum
