Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

We really do have a set of guidelines on how to approach warnings/bans. I would copy and paste it if I were allowed to, but I can't. Our process is very similar to flowchart 1. What is different is what Yoozel said in that there are variables. We take ban history into account, for example.
Why can you not paste it, in fear loopholes will be found
Not fear, acceptance.
No one can write a program, construct a flow-chart, lay out a diagram that can/will handle human-to-human interactions, especially when the interactions take place in a medium as subjective and malleable as text.
Which is why our hosts have people doing this job and not some well-written script/bot. Anytime someone comes up with an "if this - then that" rule for people interacting, it only takes a human being with a few functioning neurons to find an exception or a way to highlight the flaws in the rule.
So, since the subject matter is so flexible, uncertain, and (pardon the expression) subjective... you need to have an adaptive and flexible method to deal with it. Bungie chose us. Whether or not that is/was/remains a wise move? Well, as we can see, the debate continues.
But does anyone REALLY want a Disembodied Soul 2.0 enforcing the membership agreement on the forums?
