> If the site were even a bit more self-moderating, individuals would be given the opportunity to work out their differences and, where necessary, apologize for inappropriate or uncivil behaviour. There would be very few, if any, blocks of up to a year. Individuals would develop new skills, such as dealing with confrontation or owning their own behaviour.
Posters are already given the opportunity to work out their differences, apologize, and rephrase. And there are already very few blocks at all. Here's some data:
May 2009 through Apr 2010:
Posts: 52,133
Blocks: 23
= 0.04%
= 1 out of every 2500
Blocks > 3 weeks: 10
= 0.02%
= 1 out of every 5000
Blocks of 52 weeks: 3
= 0.006%
= 1 out of every 17,000
Blocks > 52 weeks: 0
