In reply to Dr Bob? About the blocking policies?, posted by Racer on April 4, 2006, at 19:44:04
> Have you ever considered reducing the block lengths? Not on an individual basis, I don't mean. Just as in maybe changing them all to one week, with a few exceptions that would be considerably longer? (I'm actually thinking lifetime bans...)
I think that is a wonderful idea. I've never been blocked but from what I understnad, that are incredibly difficult. When reading posts of posters who have been blocked for extensive periods of time you can often hear the pain in the posts. Its not necessary. You could get your point across with a less severe punishment. you have to have a punishment that fits the crime or else it makes no sense.
crime, mistaken use of the wrong word, whatever...
