User: (Spamming)

Mod: Hey there User, your spamming is disrupting the normal conversation. I was wondering if you could please step out of respect for the community?

User: Na, I won't stop

Mod: OK, understood, not a problem. I am going to apply a short two hour ban for you so that you can think about the way you have been acting and determine if this is truly the correct environment for you. Immediately after banning, I will also leave a message on your wall so you understand the precise reason for your ban and hopefully you will change this action in the future. After two hours we welcome you back and will give you a chance with a clean slate. Take care!

(Ban for two hours)

I still see no reason for kick. If they are disrupting chat or disrespecting others, ban. After a cool down period, hopefully they will come back better behaved. If you kick, all you are doing is inviting tempers to rise, which seems illogical unless you are attempting to cause a conflict, especially with adolescents. Just my two cents!
