I'm sorry Maria, but I have to agree with Chao and Reading here. I think these rules with encourage more rule-breaking, and users will find themselves more daring, since it's a 3 time strike. They will know they can get away with it three times before they are eventually banned.

I do think there are times when instant bans are essential such as underaged users as well as blantant trolling and/or discrimination. Especially for the discrimination, it is common sense, no rule is needed for them to know it's wrong. If they're going to be an asshole on first meeting, they will most likely not stop....even with warnings.
