>I think this is another case where flexibility in the rules is needed. One week is not enough here!!!
Yeah. I tend to agree. I thought it might be considred 'grossly offensive' in which case a more severe block may be warranted.
> OTOH, when blocks are automatically doubled and tripled for what seems to me are minor offenses (certainly relative to this post we've been discussing), it just doesn't make any sense.I think the idea is that people should come to learn the rules and what is and is not acceptable. Repeated infractions compound the consequences because they weren't severe enough to result in them having learned better.
>From what I've read here lately, Dr. Bob has been more flexible in these kinds of situations lately. That's definitely a good thing. Now I think that we need some flexibility on the other end.
Yup. I tend to agree...
However I would still like the block length changed. And IMO that would make the most sense in conjunction with the +1 or +2 system. Posts that are considered 'grossly offensive' could be dealt with differently...
