User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Bringing down the banhammer: Best practices for blocking/@comment-4674838-20120318160436

Thanks for this blog post! It was very informative. I think it can be very tricky to transition from helping to warning, and you explained the sort of wording / actions for this transition very well.

What about when multiple pointers, reminders or warnings need to be given to the same user within a fairly short period of time? I feel like it can be a good idea in these cases to privately speak with another admin (if possible) to receive advice about the situation. But do you think it's ever a good idea to say "Hey, I'm having some trouble dealing with this person, will you speak to them instead/in addition to what I've said to them?" -- or is it best that communication between user and admin remain 1 on 1, so as not to confuse or complicate the situation?
