[WikiEN-l] Community Sanction

Mon Nov 27 22:26:59 UTC 2006

So what good does an indefinite ban do in such circumstances?  A 24-hour 
ban to forestall immediate damage is warranted, but an indefinite ban 
means nothing when the person won't come back anyway.  Look at the 
time-frame of his edits.  Someone whose 15 edits are all in a very short 
period is not likely a long range problem.  Someone who has done them at 
one per week for 15 weeks, despite attempts to contact him is a 
different matter.
