I would like to understand how preventing muted players from trading contributes to the game. Could any one clarify this?

What contributes to the game is people not engaging in behaviour which requires moderation. Clamping down on such with more severe punishments is intended to achieve that.

e.g. if chat mutes never exceeded 30 seconds & had no trade-related ramifications, every semi-popular global and trade channel would be nothing but kiwi spam. Or - to go with a more recent example - a bunch of Americans arguing among themselves about their own domestic politics and whether Party A is preferable to Party B. The average person doesn't want to see it - but without active moderation, the small minority of loud people would completely take over.

Because just not being able to "PRAISE" for the next two months wasn't a deterrent for the toucan posters.

Exiling them to SSF was the lowest impact way GGG was able to stop their spam.
