@Original post:

I actually haven't seen anyone be nasty towards new users for a while, thankfully. Your claim that we don't accept anyone who is different is dubious, though, because it assumes a non-existent homogeneity in the community; which is in fact fairly diverse. But I agree about your points on giving second chances, and making sure users understand the policy before issuing immediate bans.

I pretty much agree with the rest of your post, except I do not find our chat policy lacking for most situations.
