Stickam and your safety.
Thank you for your patience during our outage today. We have added a very important new feature for videochat hosts. If you click on the persons username on your list of visitors you will see a option to "ban" a person from your chat session. 
This function will completely block them from ever accessing your chat again unless you ask us to remove the ban. A user that has been banned by 2 different users will have their account immediately de-activated and will have their case investigated. "Kick" function will kick them out for an hour on members, 24 hours on visitors.
You will also notice a link at the bottom of each page labeled "abuse report". Please report any activity you feel to be offensive and we at Stickam will investigate your situation. We have added these new features for the protection of you, our members.

Grey - this is actually out of date, we no longer auto ban users.

Hmmm, as a network security specialist during my day job, it seems like a really bad idea to give users the ability to effectively disable other users accounts. I could see that being automated as a malicious tool trivially.
And, particularly since right now with google buying out youtube, it seems like you guys are starting to gain some traction - I would put that on lock down and just let users kick other users; leave account deactivations up to stickam employees, after investigations.
