I'm an admin in a Discord server and there's been one person who just chatters. Constantly. Just kind of inane chatter and its really bothering a lot of people, especially when we're trying to do stuff as a group. It's causing sensory overload for some folks and a number of people, myself included, now avoid the general voice channel when he's in it or might be in it soon. I know he's autistic and some of it's due to that, but it's become a real problem for the community. I don't want to implement a ban on chatting during group stuff because some of it can be fun, and I don't want to make everyone go on push to talk, because I feel like he'll just be pushing the button all the time. One of the other admins who's also autistic has already talked to him once but its still a problem. Since a lot of it happens during things I lead, I've volunteered to try to talk with him this time. So the actual question: does anyone have any advice on how I should approach this? There's a couple specific things I can tell him for during my events, but I feel like that won't really help the general problem.
Just fucking ban them. You know what they say about cutting toxic people out of someone's life right?
I somehow doubt that the behavior will change if they've already been talked to about it and nothing has changed yet, so maybe, if it fails to work a second time, do issue a warning of sorts for.... whatever the talking equivilant of spamming is, i guess :P
give second warning, let community know there has been a warning issued for spamming general chat like x user has, if spamming general chat continues then ban seems equitable enough to me
