Brief comment here-- I don't like the long blocks either, for a variety of reasons.
I haven't been to a board yet (whether about younger-looking skin, or banjos, or psych issues) that did not ban folks, sometimes permanentaly.
So, just my 2 cents, one has to have a bit of trust in the moderator(s), but also give folks another opportunity--like, maybe doubling blocks is not the way to go. Maybe adding a week is the way to go...or 5 days, etc.
Who knows? But because there are decidedly harmful people on the web (and maybe this site also), there should always be an option to ban someone forever, IMHO.
That's all from me on this one! Hope it makes some sort of sense!
