Warning them nicely via message, with or without a kick seems highly reasonable to me. Doing so in a kindly manner, making sure they know what they said was against our policy. No need to jump all over them of course. I've seen many of times were new user's would join and do something that is anti-policy here and they'd get a friendly warning for doing so, and they'd say "oh okay" and learned from their mistake they had no idea was a mistake.

Strong language is slightly different, like the f or s word for instance. They should be kicked right away, so they know something they said was wrong, instead of someone trying to tell them not to say it. Of course you tell them they were kicked for doing something against our policy in a nice, friendly way. I just feel if it's very strong language a kick is necessary instead of just a warning through words.

Good reminder, but certainly something I view as a high aspect to being a good, friendly, and calm chat moderator.
