You think I stare at the chat the whole time I'm in there? That I watch every little line, every single post, and see if they're rule-breaking? No.

I stay in chat, I leave it open in the background, I'll check every 2-5 minutes, and see what is happening. When I did it this time, I saw that Nerd and Aj were talking. Having warned them in the past of making statements in main that should've been said via PM, I briefly scanned the messages and saw that what they were discussing was pretty much role-playing. So, I requested that they move to PM, and I went back to my other activities. A minute later, I checked again, saw them continuing, kicked Aj (who had left 3 more messages since my departure), and left again to go back to my other activities. I returned once more, saw them still persisting, and banned both for rule-breaking.

Now, I can't always do that with every single case, because I am busy with other things. I am not an omniscient mod who sees every violation of the rules.
