1) Censure (a good telling off and warning not to do it again)
2) Two week de-op 2-Day Ban
3) Two week ban, two week de-op
4) Perma ban
5) Abstain
For obvious reasons the person who is the subject of the vote will not be able to vote in the poll. Before the poll is added the accused will be invited to post a defence.
If somebody is perma banned, then this ban can be reversed any time after a month by another poll.
Anybody who defies a ruling (ie gives OP rights to a punished person) will be considered to be rule breaking themselves.
The vote is not won on a simple majority. If there is no majority, the option with the least votes (non-Abstaining), has their votes carried over to whicever adjacent option in the list has more votes. If there is no 50% majority, the process is repeated for a second time. [Note: In the second round, if for example 2-Week Ban was first eliminated, and 2-Day Ban should be eliminated, the 2-Day Ban votes are never carried over into Permanent. They would instead be carried over into censure. Essentially you don't discount the missing option when deciding where to move votes, unless you're in a rare situation where you'd have no choice.] In the event that after these two eliminations, the remaining two options are tied, whichever punishment is lesser is carried out.
All Bans come into effect immediatly.
