Sorry for not getting back to you right away. Of course. In general, I've been fairly lenient with new users in chat, as it's often difficult to tell whether someone simply lacks self-awareness, is ignorant of the rules, or intends to cause annoyance. In many cases, there is no clear violation of the rules, and I'd like to assume good faith and give out warnings rather than immediately kicking/banning. Considering the frequency of trolls, however, I can understand wanting a stricter attitude towards moderation. People who believe they've been wrongly banned from chat can simply write an appeal to staff, something that trolls seldom go to the effort to do.

I know that this wiki has no stance on underage users, but it seems that those who claim to be or show signs of being underage are frequently implicated in these incidents. Unless there are any objections, I'd like the chat moderation team to use their discretion in preemptively removing these users from chat if there is reasonable suspicion that a user is underage. It's up to you whether you think this would benefit the wiki, Jack. I believe I've previously discussed ideas about reducing the number of underage users on the wiki itself, and if you've decided anything about this yet I think we'd all like to hear it. Thanks!
