Use common sense. Is kicking the most efficient and reasonable way to handle the situation? If so, kick. If not, take a different action such as verbal warnings or ignoring. Always be prepared to justify your actions and reasoning though, because if anyone calls it out as unreasonable (which often times someone will), you'll be accountable for explaining it.
