Banning and Kicking

Subject: Banning and Kicking Sat Jun 16, 2012 5:38 pm

As you may already know if you've read the Chatbox Commands, moderators can ban you from the chat or kick you.

/ban
Moderators! Please do not ban chatbox members! Only use this command if they are constantly cussing or breaking another rule. Banning can be quite annoying! If you ban a member, we may never know you banned them. Note that if you are banned from the chatbox, you can't come back until you are unbanned.
Members, if a moderator has banned you, please pm Spirit, Aaron or Chayton asking to be unbanned. Also, in your pm, include the moderator's username. Then we will pm the moderator and ask for a copy of the chatlog. If you behaved horribly enough in the chatbox, you may be permanently banned. Please follow the rules and we considerate of others, even in the chatbox!

/kick
General Note! Kicking can be quite annoying! I can be used as friendly play or a warning about behavior in the chatbox. After being kicked, you can log back in the chatbox immediately.
Moderators! If you kick a member for just play, you should ask them permission first. Some could be offended by being kicked from the chatbox while others can think of it as play. If a member is behaving badly, it is recommended that you follow the ban routine. If you decide that their behavior is not bad enough, warn them and then kick them.
Members! If you are kicked and not told why, first ask the moderator who kicked you. If they don't tell you or leave, then you can pm an alpha. Kicking is not as serious as banning, so please ask first!
