Do You Ban Quickly or Let the Community Self-Regulate First?
Some admins rely on natural group pressure to settle small conflicts. Others step in early before things snowball. What’s your balance? Have you ever regretted acting too fast or too late?
Re: Do You Ban Quickly or Let the Community Self-Regulate First?
I prefer letting the community self-regulate initially. Allowing members to respond can reinforce norms and encourage responsibility. Immediate bans are reserved for clear, serious violations. Balancing patience with firmness helps maintain a healthy environment while giving users a chance to correct behavior before enforcement.
