Does any get punished abusing the kick in Novice network?

[Rhundas]

There's as much proof of what this person said being the "truth" as there is of the OP's side of the story being true. Don't jump to conclusions. Kick abuse can and does happen.

Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is entirely accurate. Multiple people have asked that the behaviour ceases because it's inappropriate and--most importantly--has made novices uncomfortable.

The Network on Balmung is silly. It's full of memes and general joking around to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, but when questions are asked or people are requested to stop, it stops.
Unfortunately not everybody stops sometimes, and not everybody has appropriate things to say. 'Licking' people has made people uncomfortable and that's why this person gets asked to stop. The mentors don't dislike them personally, we dislike how they act.
