But at the same time, if nobody else in chat but a moderator interprets something as innuendo, how will that moderator justify their actions to the rest of the community? Like I said, innuendo is opinionated. When making an action such as a ban, or even kicks, it has to be after there was clear and evident abuse of policy. Otherwise it'd be like CheckUsers invading privacy of users because they could be abusing multiple accounts (but no certainty on it), or Wikia staff closing a wiki because the wiki may be a violation of the Terms of Use (but no certainty on that either).

Is that not what warnings are for? A ban is an extreme way to handle a minor situation.
