Those players got banned for that long because they violated the event rules INTENTIONALLY, when they were FULLY AWARE of what would happen if they did so.
Even though the first one got banned, they continued to do it. Sigh, I'm not gonna repeat myself and I WILL NOT unban them myself and gonna let their bantime expire. Their problem, not mine. That's what you get when you try being a badass. AND WHETHER I WARNED THEM OR NOT, IT'S STILL NOT MY PROBLEM AS VIOLATING EVENT RULES IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN!!!
yes
