Catering to people who have loudly and publicly quit or are permabanned and have no intention of playing the game either way seems like a losing proposition.
So you don't care about returning players (permabanned players can't come back granted unless they appeal), thanks for that underhand shiv straight through the community spirit and even if we are classed as the wrong type of people, you do no prior screening and remain ambigious to your desired clientele based entirely on what feels like the whim of the acting maintainer team and uncontrolled polls without tracability. (that still bothers me, people voting should have been public to see on the SS13 stats page or atleast tracable for staff purposes to investigate foul play)
One reason i can add why it isn't a losing proposition is that loud people will tell all their friends and communities, and change opinions of new players joining the server doing research beforehand on a game they may not of heard of, there's even a degree of coverage of anti-furry on reddit (
Furries and vorephiles trying to take over ss13 wiki, self-inserting their degeneracy. - SS13 Reddit )

Because they were your customers before, its like changing to be a vegan steakhouse, its a obnoxious change by management to 'move with the times' or whatever virtue-signalling agenda that alienates its older non-vegan previously loyal customers who don't like the new flavor and if they aren't thrown out for causing trouble, they just stop connecting and leave.
We were part of the community Kor but we feel and are being ursurped & undermined previously by a catpeople minority becoming center which we have no control over except to be loud about it and jump ship since our hands are tied if staff are complicit with it and it hinges especially on convincing you lot otherwise. We've been sold out and will eventually be removed entirely and resigned to ancient history until eventually it happens again to your new center majority.
Its communal-cleansing.
