I see your point, although kicking is generally harmless, I've noticed times in which a new user has sworn, been kicked and then not return to chat, the implication being that they've been completely discouraged from using chat and possibly the wiki as a whole. That's probably not the kind of message we want to give to new users.

I would suggest that kicking new users for swearing should be discouraged and only used as a swearing warning to more familiar users or repeat offenders instead.
