Dealing with a troublemaker?

What do you do when you have a troublemaker on your forum?

How do you handle a troublemaker?

A couple of warnings and then a ban if no improvement is seen. Simple. Shouldn't waste time on troublemakers.

I would start with verbal warnings, then actual warnings where it is official so they understand there is a difference. Then a short ban, if no improvement after the ban it would likely be a permanent ban.

Depends on the kind of "trouble" but usually an instant and permanent ban is the best way, no discussions at all.

True depending on the degree of trouble, it can become an instant and permanent ban. This makes me think of the troll spamming and etc that used to run rampant on forums.

It depends on exactly what the member is doing. If they are harassing other members, I would suspend them for a bit. If they were breaking another rule such as posting spam, or download links to illegal material I would ban them. If they're breaking other rules, I'd just give them a verbal warning first, then add warnings to their account if it keeps up.

I've dealt with a number of troublemakers since my return to the forum scene. Some like to come on my site talking back to me, being disrespectful just some of the things I will not even tolerate. If they wanna do things like that, they can try and do that to the lord.

Troublemakers are never something I tolerate on my forum and I will only give them so long to change their act before they receive a permanent ban from the forum.

Usually, when a troublemaker is brought to my attention, I speak with them and let them know that this is their first warning and a friendly warning but failure to stop doing what they are doing will result in a permanent ban.

Depends on the results that they have done regards in what results on receiving a warning point or just a verbal warning. If they are being silly then a verbal warning however the more verbal warnings they get, end up getting a warning point. If it's not silly then warning points(s)

After eight points of bad warnings they get a BAN ;P

Never had any regards to that
