Let's remember it's a kick not a ban. When they come back they can refresh the screen and are immediately back in. It's not even as bad as when people trick you into logging out. Yes, I have done it a few times in the past. But truthfully it was only because I felt "pushed" to do so by a user that was scared of people in the chat. I did so to make that particular user feel comfortable, and the whole time I personally felt uncomfortable.

This is particularly why I am looking forward to having a formal rule, so that if this user comes up to me again and says "I am scared of people watching me" I can easily say "according to the rules, I cannot ban them for this, just be careful about what you share!"

You chose to go down this path, we can continue if you want.
