As #4 of the list explains, there can be other topics introduced as well. I have another suggestion I'd like to bring up. This next section is a work-in-progress, and is not in effect yet.

Anyway, let me begin discussing the topic. Now, when there's a crisis on chat, we attempt to quickly give out warnings and then boom boom kicked or banned. There isn't a set amount of warnings for a certain situation, and when banning people, its usually how long we think they deserve to be banned. However, with all of these differences of opinions between chat moderators and administrators, there needs to be a constant. There needs to be a certain # of warnings for this, and a certain length of a ban for that.

So, I have created two new systems that will decide how many warnings someone gets, how long they last, and how long they should be banned. I have chosen to explain it to you now on here, so that I may properly explain these systems, any concerns, comments, or suggestions you may have can be explained.

The systems are at the moment titled the Punishment System and the Ban Length System.

I will begin with the Punishment system. As seen on here, I have created a table listing various "crimes", then dividing them based on what type of this "crime", how many times they have done it, and so on. For each particular action, there comes a consequence. For example, if I am showing Racism, I would get a warning. If I continue to show Racism, I would only get 1 final warning. After that, if I continued to be racist, then I would be kicked, and if that continued, well then I would be banned, the length depending on the Ban Length System (which we'll get to later).

When a crisis is happening on chat, this and the Ben Length System will be used. So, if one of our users does something, we can refer to this, search for what the user did, know what the appropriate thing to do is, and then do it on chat. This will also be on the Chat Policy, for easy access. From here on out, this is how warnings will be handled.

Now to the Ban Length System. Remember when I told the story about how if I continued to be racist, I would be banned? Well we're going to continue that story. For this, look at Template:Ban Length System. In the Ban Length System, I've taken the "crimes", and I've given them a rank between 1-3 based on how bad I think they are. 1 is Bad, 3 is the worst/most horrible. I've then listed how many times you can be banned at the top, from 0 - 9. Between them is a series of numbers. This Table is like a Multiplication table (http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/computer/multiplication-tables/multiplication-table-25x25.gif) but with adding instead.

Now, based on the chat ban log, http://ben10fanfiction.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=chatban&user=&page=User%3ASci100&year=&month=-1 I have not been banned before. So that's 0. Now, Racism is under Harassment in the Warning System. So, Harassment is a #3 Crime Point. So that's a 3. So, now you would add those two numbers together (3+0) to get 3. At the bottom, you will find a "Key to Ban". Now, based on the sum (the answer you got from adding the Crime Point (3) and the # of Previous Bans (0), you determine how long the person is banned. Since I have a 3, I would be banned for 3 days.

Both systems, if approved will put on the Chat Policy for easy access. So, does my explanation make sense? Any questions/comments? After any questions or comments have been addressed, we can vote on this.
