There has been a lot of good ideas here and I agree, it's a tough call. One thing I would like to suggest, and I have seen it happen, is if someone is about to get banned, give them a warning. They may really not know what they did or said was over the line. And if it's a group of people having some fun and a mod having a bad day or taking what is being said in the wrong way, then we can explain and/or defend our actions.
Common sense goes along way too. But we all make mistakes. And we all have different senses of humor, I know mine is rather twisted, sarcastic and lewd, but I'm basically a very harmless person and rarely mean anything mean in the things I say and do. I usually try to remember to put a j/k or a smiley, but not always. And people take me the wrong way sometimes. I don't want to get banned for it or walk on eggshells while I'm posting here to make sure I don't offend anyone. I'm not easlily offended, so yah, maybe people just need to lighten up too.
Just my 2 cents (and yes Zero, you can have mine too). :p
