Hmm... To a certain extent I don't agree with that tbh. It's pretty useless to try to have any conversation while damage is being done. You need to first stop the damage, which means banning the person who harms the community in some way. This of course doesn't mean that you'd need to ban them for months, like a few hours would do if it has been just a small incident. Having a conversation about the person while he/she is still doing damage means that you'll only give this person more time to do harm for the wiki and the community. I do agree that if that happens in chat and not on pages, conversation about what happened and proof of any harmful acts is a necessity. But that doesn't mean that the person in question will simply just sit down quietly and have a talk. A good example is that whole Opret stuff: He was spamming and annoying people in the chat and for that he was banned from the chat for few days. Not even an hour went by and he was already raging about what happened, made alts and told people to fuck off. A conversation was simply impossible in that situation, the only option was to just ignore it and see if he serves his ban.
