Hey again, Saph here. After a little thing went on earlier in the channel, I have seen that two warnings before a kick is quite unfair. Since we are resetting warnings every two weeks, that means that people are going to get banned quickly. We don't want that, now do we? I suggest that we amend the policy to <b>four or five warnings to cut these guys some slack.</b> Perhaps also giving multiple warnings for more major things, such as sockpuppeting or constant spam/bot abuse. What do you think?

<small>Please note that DTN said I should make this a topic. I'm not exactly sure how I should format this, but here you go.</small> 04:45, July 3, 2010 (UTC) --[[User:Sapharus|Sapharus]]
:I support this, it needs to be now that warnings are going to be reset every two weeks. Five warnings preceding a kick seems fine, but what about afterwards? Anything extra before immediately going into a ban, like we usually do? Also, for socks, I would do multiple warnings ''or'' immediate kick, though what defines a sockpuppet often varies between users. Thanks Sapharus! --{{User:DoorToNothing/Sig}} 04:48, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
If my opinion is valued at all, then I would like to add. I think four (read:4) warnings is more than enough. More than that can lead to irritation. Also, after 4 warnings should lead to a kick, then if the behavior continues, lead to a ban. Major things (sockpuppeting, constant spam), as Saphy said, should give multiple warnings. I still think 5 warnings is a bit too lax; if you can't listen after 4 warnings, then they deserve a kick. --{{SC/Sig}} 04:59, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
