User blog comment:Stpehen/Clean slate:John and Sharpe/@comment-2040576-20111218101338

Since Sharpe's request isn't a blog I will say what I would have said on it here. I support the idea, but I already make use of it in a way.

After they have reached their 3 strikes ( always with reasons given, and that should also be a part of this new request ) I change their user rights at User Rights Management because that is the proper way to do it and because that way the reason for banning is in the logs. Then I tell the user that they have been banned, tell them why and then either they leave but if they refuse I kickban. Then after they have left chat I send them a talk message with the template and explain why they were kickbanned.
