Say there is a newer user who is not quite familiar with our policies yet. Now say someone corrects their edits and leaves messages on their talk page, but they are a bit...overboard ("OMG will you ''PLEASE'' sign your comments? You're so annoying..." etc). The new user continues to violate the policy. How do you resolve the situation? <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#008833; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #00bb77;">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#eed000; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #ffd000;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 01:30, 9 November 2015 (EST)

:As per your previous question, it depends. For one thing, if the user who's trying to correct them is saying being rude like that, I'm going to scold them no matter what, because there's no need to be rude to anyone, no matter what wrongdoing they've committed. When it comes to the user, that's difficult to determine. It'd have to depend on how exactly they're violating policies and what policies they're violating, for instance, a signed comment issue, I'm going to be a bit easygoing on, as it's not a terrible issue, just a minor issue that can be fixed rather quickly. Most likely the reason they'd ignore it is maybe because the user's being rude to them. I know I wouldn't wanna listen to someone who's being rude to me, so I'd talk to them myself, explain why exactly they're being called out, apologize for said user's misbehavior, and link them to the policies and hope they'll listen then. If not, then I'll remind them a couple more times, give them a few more chances, you know. If they continue to break the policies, then at that point I know I have no choice but to issue a penalty. The penalty would depend on the severity of the policy violation, but since they'd most likely be good faith, then it wouldn't be TOO severe, just enough to get their attention. At that point I'd put one more message on their talk page explaining why they faced a penalty and ask kindly to refrain from doing it again and to look at the policies they've been violating. Hopefully this helps, and if you need further information, don't hesitate to ask.
