Punishments
The Nitrome Wiki public chatroom contains a slew of authoritative figures that hold the power to bring down authority upon users who break policies. Typically, chat-mods and administrators of the wiki have the power to execute several forms of punishment.

Verbal Warning
A verbal warning consists of a brief but stern acknowledgement of an offense to the offender. Verbal warnings are typically carried out by chat-mods, but in their absence, other users may give brief outlines as to what another user has done wrong and why. A Verbal warning is the first line of defense and typically occurs with small violations. A verbal warning is always the first punishment to an offense. Depending on the situation, verbal warning can occur multiple time, but not more than three times. Upon the final warning, a ban will follow shortly thereafter.

Kick
"Kicking" a user is the most basic form of legitimate punishment for breaking a policy. The kick function allows anyone with executive power in the chat to forcefully remove anyone participating in the chat. Kicks are only temporary, therefore anyone kick can rejoin the chat in a timely manner. A kick us typically used if a policy is offended a second time. Multiple kicks can be used, but varies among user and type of offense.
