Reliable enforcement beats harsh punishment, when changing people's behavior. I tell forum mods to hand out three-day bans like candy. It's long enough to sting and short enough to shut up and take it.

And seriously - you are game designers. Modifying people's behavior through expectations is your job. Your power is so immense that charging money inside the game should probably be illegal. Find better tools than a permanent boot in the ass.
