One flaw I see in all this. 3-7 day ban after repeated offences? If you repeated offences in work, you'd be fired. If you repeated offences you would get more than just a simply warning or week ban. It shows the weakness of the wikia. What is the point of letting them do it over and over again? Some people never stop doing it and they abuse the system. They do not care about the bans, they will still do it time and time again, I've seen it before. This is just as bad as letting them get away with it, at least we knew that with longer punishments, the abusers would stop doing it, they got bored. How is a one month ban from a wikia 'too much to be a punishment'? If the person abusers their rights just about anywhere, and uses them to spam on multiple occasions, is it now OK to just let them keep doing it? They delete a page worth of contents and we just warn them? They delete 3 pages, including pictures, and we give them a 3 day ban? They do more and we have them only a week ban? They should be blocked from that point onwards. Why let them repeat offences over and over, when you know deep down that longer punishments are most certainly justified?

So if it were me, you know, if I went rogue for whatever reason or someone hacked into my account. According to this, you would edit what I did and basically forget what happened. Then if repeated you would remove my Admin rights and warn me. Then after repetition, you would give me a 3 day ban, then a 7 day ban, then a 3 day ban?.... That's a little weak don't you think? If that ever happened, I would block or ban the offender indefinitely if that happened after the 7 day ban.
