I believe that that trying to make rules like this will only cause more trouble in the wiki/chat, and cause many to leave.

While there should be rules granted, I believe that mods should have some choice in the apporpiate punishment. Now of course some could possibally abuse their powers as a moderator when granted with the freedom to  do so, but, that can always be reported to a higher up Admin.

For example: If i call "sally" a mean word (bitch, whore etc.) maybe i should just be warned. But if  I tell "sally" to go kill herself, a ban would be an apporpiate measure.

These rules honestly will not help as much as I orginally thought. You'd think that you can leave the way the rules are enforced up to the mods/admins but in truth some of them cannot they give out unreasonably long bans for minor things, they extend bans without proper reason, and let things slide much too often. Our ban log shouldn't have this many entries in it (around 50) for this month.

That alone shows that there needs to be a regulated way of punishing instead of letting the mods decide. For the three kicks thing we need to make a new post for it so we can outline every possible offence and how to properly punish for it.
