, 00:06, March 16, 2015→Sloppy presentation of block reasons: general note about "timeouts"
:I blocked Burke39 and corrected his edits mainly in a group. You can browse my contributions and can usually tell by the description. He also did some odd removals. I am not completely sure that the block doesn't need to be increased somewhat. [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] 19:52, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

::OK. I'm not defending him at all, mind you. I'm not going to browse his contributions for the details; I'll completely take your word for it. I'm sure that if I did look around, I'd figure it out. I guess all I wanted was some quick note pointing to the "smoking gun". So he doesn't have to look around and try to figure it out, possibly figuring it out wrong.
::If you're not sure the block doesn't need to be increased, you shouldn't. ''This isn't aimed at you; it's a general comment.'' There are two types of unsavory characters: people who need to be slapped, and people who need to be permabanned. The latter are clear, of course, and he isn't in that class. But slapping someone with a long but finite block just makes them angry and hostile when they come back. CP is basically treating them like children with these "timeouts". It would be better to treat them like adults who need to be told when they are doing something wrong. Assuming they are adults, they will presumably "get it". If not, well, then you drop the axe.
::The preceding paragraph wasn't something I was planning to write; it's just something I've noticed over the last year or so. You gave me a perfect lead in for it. Thank you for understanding. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] 20:06, 15 March 2015 (EDT)
