Regarding temporary bans,
How much trouble would it be to create a timed ban?
I imagine such bans could be called Cool Off Periods
of say 12, 24,
36, or 72 hours, both parties in an edit war being
banned for the
same amount of time, so that neither feels the W has
sided with the
other party?
I don't think that's a good idea. Edit wars are
completely different than vandalism because it's just
one page. I think that our current policy of
protecting the page is sufficient. If it were possible
for developers to make it so that a particular sysop
couldn't edit a page, I think that would help, but a
situation where this would be needed hasn't come up
yet. Cool off bans for [multipage] trolls and vandals,
IMO, would be good.
