Well is somebody just came in saying

HEY GUYS WHAT'S UP?

GUESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

you know, made all their messages in caps, that's really fucking annoying. As opposed to normal messages. And I believe four is a good number, you don't need anymore.

That's when you ask them to stop, and if they don't then they are disobeying a mods orders. BOOM you can now kick them for it. I get your meaning, but I do see a problem. I've seen plenty of times a user get butthurt how they broke a rule that they didn't see in the rules, and after they got banned, they made socks, or tried making trouble in some other way. That stuff stresses out our admins and is good for nothing.

But that applies to pretty much every other form of spam. And the vast majority of people on chat are generally well-behaved. If there is any kind of disruptive behavior, most people don't need much more than a simple warning to stop. Also, I believe the principle of assume good faith applies here.
