LQ, I appreciate your input. However, there is a big difference between a chat ban and being banned from a forum. IIRC, you are a moderator on Club Penguin Insiders Forum or something like that. Being banned from a website like CPI is more like being banned from the LMBs than it is like being banned from chat on LMBW.

The purpose of a chat ban is to prevent the user from disrupting the chat and making the chatting experience unpleasant for other users. The chat ban achieved its goal: putting an end to the disruptive behavior that was offending and upsetting a lot of people in chat. Bans are not for teaching users that certain behavior is unacceptable. If we want to do that, we explain it to them and have them read the rules. Skulduggery is well aware of the fact that his behavior was unacceptable, and no ban is needed to teach him that. He also already knows that actions have consequences, and even if he didn't, his ban was sufficient demonstration of that fact. The purpose of the ban was not to teach him or to keep him away for a certain amount of time, it was to prevent further disruptive behavior from occurring and to allow chat to be fun for other users.

You are essentially asking us to re-ban Skul because he has not provided a sufficient apology or demonstrated remorse for his actions. As I said, bans are not contingent on those things. We only ban someone for violating the rules, not for not being sorry about breaking them. I understand your points, and how they apply to forums, but they do not really apply to chat or to this situation. I have been an administrator on this wiki for nearly a year, and a moderator for months before that, so I also know what I'm talking about.

Now, if it is the case that Skulduggery continues disruptive behavior, he will be banned again. If he repeats after another ban, this will result in more serious sanctions. He knows better, and such behavior will not be tolerated in the future.
