Folks, because this thread is not about specific members nor about specific member behaviors and the actions taken against them, we're going to close this thread. It is not particularly helpful to describe something without context; anything can seem absurd in such situations.

We have a system that has worked well for most situations for many years, and we've answered the original OP's question about how the rules are applied in chat.

We will continue to work with our community support team to ensure we are reacting to situations and issues that arise in chat in a timely and appropriate manner.

Thank you,
DocJohn
