Probably.
In fact, I think the key to self-moderation is to hit people hard.
I'm far too forgiving.
But as I'm becoming increasingly intolerant of the "It wasn't me", "He started it" and "It just a joke, can no-one take a joke" I'm also going to let go of my tendancy to be forgiving.
I really think it's smarter of me to just ban people for good and for everyone else to see that and act accordingly.
So there's the fair warning to everyone. Attack a newbie without what the vast majority would consider to be fair cause, and I'm going to kick you hard. If you've already been kicked in the past, then I'm going to ban permanently.
And within that simple statement, perhaps people will try and help newbies rather than tear them new asssholes.
