I'd like to have a kick feature in the chats, one which comes with a short 15-30 timeout from the room (effectively a very temporary ban).
This is typically a fantastic tool to use in tense social situations where things are getting heated and disruptive, but the participants generally behave well and are not ban-worthy. 15 minute kicks can act as a sort of reality check; it helps the kick-ee cool off and prevents things from escalating to the point where severe punishment like a ban is earned. (So it helps them check themselves before they wreck themselves.) It also gives the remaining chat participants time to move on past the incident.
Kick without a subsequent short timeout is not something I am asking for here. They are not effective for this scenario.
