I don't think anyone is proposing short bans without due process. We're just
considering whether short bans might be an effective remedy in certain
circumstances. Apparently they are according to Meatball.

I think sometimes a ban for a day may do more

Btw, don't edit it. We have too many Wikipedians on meatball already. Just
appreciate the sublime beauty(horror) of the ideas... ;-)
Where is the protection button ? :-)
I think no one should be short banned without a clear process and global
agreement upon using this sort of action. Currently, we do not know who
could decide of such an action, and we do not have any arguments laid
down. Plus we confuse "short ban" as a mean to cool down the editor,
"short ban" as a mean to give a break to the group, and "short ban"
as a
way to get around due process.
