While I was in chat one day, a certain user came on with an inappropriate user name and was quickly banned. It came back on with its main account, stating that the alternate was to ward off bullies, but she was banned right on the spot without warning. I understand the gravity of having alternate accounts, but I don't think it warrants an instant ban, especially for a first time offender. At the very least, insitute a warning before they are to be banned. As long as they are warned first, then they have the incentive to not do it again. Some may think outright banning provides that as well, but I feel that negates the desire to return to the site after you have already been banned, thus losing a member of the community, one who hardly did anything. So, I want to institute a rule change. First time, warning, second time, ban.
