People need to put a valid reason in the box when
blocking someone.
All too often I see someone blocked with a message like "vandalism".
How is a user, especially a new one, going to know what they did wrong
if people are so unclear about it?
I don't think "block" is a harsh word at all, but the difference
between block and ban needs to be explained more clearly in the help
pages and the fact it's just temporary needs to be emphasized when
blocking.

About a week ago, my IP was blocked. (Not sure if this list supports it,
but I'll try and send a screenshot through.) I emailed someone (forget
who now, but thankyou to whoever you were :) ) explaining what was going on.
While "blocked" and "blocking policy" are wikilinked, it might not be
such a great idea to so publicly advertise the mailing list.
Perhaps reasons should have wikilinks in them, describing the policies
which have been violated...
