What if a poster who was blocked and thought a particular board was problematic for them could ask to convert that general block into a block that was board-specific, but twice as long?
The deputies and I would decide whether to make the conversion or not. If we did, and the poster was blocked again (or posted to the specific board, or to another board something that should've been posted to that board), then we'd convert the board-specific block back to a general block and extend it.
