I don't know if the 3, 7, 30, perma-ban schedule is official or was only an idea, but I think multipak is on to something with only banning for 3 days.
If you come back after three days and the first post you make gets you banned again fine, ban you again in three more, just as easy as in seven. If you get yourself banned nonstop, then you probably can't say anything usefull in between. No one will miss you. Everyone wins. However if you come back post somthing worth reading, and contribute to the overall conversation, then you've shown that you learned a lesson. You step out of line you get a time out, you come back and everything's ok. But it you step out of line again and have your tounge cut out, we lose a tounge that, more often than not causes more good than harm. Vicious knew the consequences and said what he needed to say anyway. When he returns, I expect he'll go back to posting like normal, and not get banned in one post. When the time comes that he wants to rip into someone again, he can weigh it against a three day ban, same as anyone. If being away for three days is worth one venomous comment, then you either feel very strongly about the comment or you dont care about being here.
Wow that was hard, my mind is all over the place right now. Spelling and typing are tricky, forming an intelligible sentance even more so.
