@MO: I understand that. My post was directly in relation to how warning and kicks and bans should be handled – it depends on other factors. Previous warnings/ban history and how much a certain bad action disrupts chat are just two of many examples of factors. There are other factors that decide how and how often and in what way a moderator warns/kicks/bans, but again – it depends on the certain situation. As for "official warnings," there really is no such thing. It's up the moderators to make the best call. All we can really have is a basic set of guidelines and rules for moderators, as well as banning suggestions. But, those are just suggestions/rules for mods in general. The fact of the matter is that there is no way to have a certain set system/number of warnings/kicks/bans for every situation. It's impossible.

@Ale: Yeah.

@Skul: As you said yourself, a kick should not precede a ban in extreme cases – but it is very subjective as to what is extreme and what is not. :P And yeah. I did try and specify extreme cases at the bottom. Really, unless its worth insta-banning, a kick should be necessary.
