Riot Games (League of Legends) has done research into why people are toxic in games. (And I mean proper scientific method with control groups and so on; you can find their presentations online)
They found that there aren't such people as "rage quitters". Those people are coming into the game stressed from other things and, on one or a few particular days, flame or ragequit. In other words these people, comprising the majority of all bad behaviour, CAN be reformed through positive social engineering. Making them leave the game is losing a genuine customer capable of positive engagement.
The number of people who deliberately and permanently act toxic is very small. These people can be dealt with by targeted permabans. They also aren't helped by the jail mechanic because they go straight back to doing it once out.
