As has been said in this thread, there have been times where administrators/moderators have sort of butted heads on how to deal with certain situations. Now, this hasn't led to any instances of infighting or friction, but it has led to confusion. I think that we should, as a team, assess the severity of the offense, and what we think the ban length should be. Again, we're already doing this, but I think it can be improved on.

Another issue I want to touch upon is when arguing with users about their offense. There have been several cases when admins/mods say "Stop saying this word" or "Stop using this avatar" and the offender refuses to comply. I think every mod/admin has had a run-in with one of these users, and it's absolutely infuriating. The conversation goes nowhere with neither user changing their mind, it goes on way too long, and most importantly, it disrupts the chat. I think users that argue with an admin's/mod's decisions should be asked to take it to PM immediately, or otherwise be kicked. There is no reason arguments should go on that long.

Something else that has been brought up is the fact that admins/mods can hound a user. I think the solution is simply a first come/first serve basis, where one or two admods handle a user and request help accordingly, as others have said in this thread.

Finally, in terms of sexual content, again see my first point. I think, rather than make the guidlines more rigid, the admins/mods should have better synergy. Those are just my thoughts, though. If no one else thinks that teamwork between admins/mods is an issue, I'm fine with making the guidlines more rigid. Very good points. I agree completely
