The following wall of text is my proposed policy for what to do in case of an argument in chat. If you so choose you can change aspects of it, or fill out what the exact punishments are.

9. Chat Mediation – In the case of an argument that disrupts chat, mods or the majority of users can enact this policy. If enacted, the two conflicting parties must go into a multi-PM with a mediator. The mediator’s job is to remind the two parties of the existing policies via hyperlink, and warn them if they begin to break any. The mediator is either a mod or, if there are none, a user agreed upon by the two parties. In the former case, the mod reserves the right to punish either party as soon as they break a rule, or wait until the argument is resolved. In the latter case, the user must keep a log of the exchange instead, and provide it to an admin for review. If the two parties DO NOT comply with the wishes of the mods or majority of users and instead stay in the main chat, both will be punished. If neither party can agree on a user, the argument must be dropped until either they agree or a mod is there. Tampering with logs on the mediator’s part is also a punishable offense.
