@Explorer:

No. We should ALWAYS try to explain. If they don't care, then it's the Banhammer; but only a short block. To show them we aren't kidding. If they continue, then goodbye. That's why HF invented the Three-Strike System. That's possibly why we are having more vandals these days, and harsher punishments.

@TurtleShroom:

1 - I think the point is that if someone says 'Hmmm... not a great article.' You will improve it (hopefully) but if someone says 'What a terrible areticle!' then you will be crushed and abandon the article. 2 - See No.1 3 - Well... you do have a bit of a tendency to overreact to stuff, but you're doing that much less now. Actually, almost never. 4 - I think the idea is not to just say 'You Can't Do That! Begone, Walrus!' you should be more 'Look, we don't allow that. How about we change it so it says this?' 5 - I think it is, but not so much in the case of individual articles. We need to be less intolerant of things we dislike of find ofencsive, and try to explain to the author that we feel this way rather than just going in with all guns blaing. 6 - I'm sorry, but who's supposed to judge if someone will care about a reprimand? How can we tell? Only one way to be sure: give them a message. Who knows, mabye they didn't know it was illegal. Or mabye they aren't the uncaring villain you took them for?
