Losing your newbie helper status is not the same
as being removed or channel banned. It is not
really a punishment. It just means that the
constant bickering on the newbie channel offers
no added value to new players. Regardless if the
fault is yours or not, it's better to remove the
newbie helper flag from two arguining players
than to present BatMUD to new players as a place
where even the people who are supposed to assist
newbies can't get along.
