I disagree with this idea. I believe that the amount of time that a user is blocked for depends on the admin's discretion, that's how it's been for a long time, it's how most wikis work, and it parallels real-life crime and punishment.

One thing that I think is important to note, however is that one admin's ruling isn't final, and that if a user believes that a block or chat ban is unfair, it can be discussed by users and other admins and changed.
