I will not disagree to this. But talking and a warning usually don't fix the issue on people who make a life with profanity and trolling. The conditions you set there are not too strict, and I can't think of a better option.

However, I suggest you don't seperate them into categories of light, mild, bad and severe. Rather, seperate them into what the user did, and then put punishments for each. For example, removing content from pages in relatively large sizes or purposely will earn a 1 month ban whatsoever. Or, profanity will earn a one day ban as an warning. Next time with profanity, give them a 1 week ban.

If my past experience is correct, then I believe that there should just be a warning and a ban, no trying to talk. Trust me, it doesn't work. If the user did something rather severely or on purpose, give them a short ban as a warning. If they do something that is rather mild or you're unclear what they're trying to achieve, use a verbal warning.

Giving out ban polices help improve Wikis a lot. The most important thing is to make sure that the ban polices contain each category of vandalism and verbal issues and an appropriate action for each.

Nonetheless, it is a good start and will help. Mkkt Bkkt likes this idea.
