Elsa has two levels of sanction:
- Alert. A user has multiple alert opportunities (5). This type of sanction is more of a warning than a sanction itself. It is usually used for actions that are punishable but do not deserve a global ban in the entire Elsa ecosystem.
- Global Ban, where the user is removed from the entire Elsa ecosystem and in those groups or channels with Elsa is administrator. The reasons for receiving this sanction usually refer to the publication of child pornography content or any suggestion about it, it also applies to any form of searching or insinuating. Other reasons such as massive spam or scams are also punishable.
