Well I think it matters. Being kicked from a 10,000 user group is a
big deal. It's not something you want to happen by accident.
I'd prefer to lean towards *not* kicking, and to start with having
internal mechanisms for dealing with problem people. Instead of
kicking them on a first offense, put a black star beside their name
for a month. In short, use social mechanisms to solve the problem.
And for goodness' sake, there should be *some* way to appeal, if only
to send email back to the Office of Cheater Kicking with an
expectation that it will be read.
