TOU means Terms of Use, the rules we all agree to when joining Wikia.

I don't know the people involved, but usually a couple days is a good rule of thumb. Unless the person is easily triggered to fly off the handle. If so, then timing will not really matter much. Just re-read the above advice from everyone, and most importantly, encourage all in the discussion to remain civil at all times, and on their best behavior even off the discussion. The less you give the admin cause to take undue action against participants, the better.

If the thread or participants are tampered or persecuted, drop an immediate line to Special:Contact even if the 7 days are not up.

However this shakes out, good luck to you, the community, and the wiki.
