Dr. Bob, I think you ought to give a bit more consideration to this idea of self-blocking. At times I had trouble staying away from Babble, and once or twice tried to get myself blocked without being uncivil. I know others have as well.
Your anti-addiction system is so simple that today's toddlers could probably manage to get around it. Plus, I think that sometimes what people need is a break from actually being able to post. I know that people might impulsively block themselves then regret it, but that's part of the consequences of making a decision.
I truly think that adding the ability to self block would be a kindness on your part.
Unless I'm missing some reason where it could cause more harm than good?
If there are technical reasons for it being difficult, perhaps you could just allow people to request a one week block on Admin.
