I have been thinking of a more systematic approach for blocking users on this site for quite a while. By that I mean, making more precise rules as to what deserves a ban for how long.

For example - If the vandalism is minor, every admin should agree that it deserves a 3 day ban.

My reason for suggesting this idea mostly concerns fairness. It might have happened several times that a vandal was blocked for a longer time than another vandal only because the administrators were different and not because of the amount of vandalism done.

It is not possible to have a precise time duration for every case. However, roughly estimating the more common cases would be convenient. This forum is also a way to know how different administrators treat the same situation and what users think of it.

Feel free to write down your opinions about this idea. It would be also convenient if you list down what time duration you would give to a certain case (even if you're not an administrator). I'm looking forward to your opinions!
