Webmaster Forum - View Single Post - Banning the user! Need Advice for amateur blog/chat admin

Sup everyone!

This is my first official site that started to bloom (20 members in 2-3 weeks). People mostly come to chat and half of those people actually uses the forums.

Here's my story:
There's 1 user who is a regular to the site, she is very helpful in the community but she sure have some foul mouth in the chat room. She gives me great suggestions to improve the site and I did take her advice 90% of the time! Anyways, I assigned Admin rights to several people I trust and the most trusted Admin decided to ban her because she made threats and severe offensive words to other chatter. Personally I know that she's no harm to others and that's just the way she talks. But, some people felt very offended by it thus.. the Admin had to ban her. For me, I'm kind of 50/50 in this issue.. I feel really bad that she left the community yet.. I have to cut the line somewhere for TOS.

Just wondering how you guys deal with this and any kind of blog admin advice would be very much appreciated!
