:::::It's true that I've had a hair-trigger for blocks, but you might not know that I often agonize over these and consult Andy by private email afterwards. It's not easy to admit that I've overstepped, but my record shows that I have SOMETIMES unblocked someone after a few moments (or days?) of reflection. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] ^{[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]} 10:31, 29 June 2017 (EDT)

Unrelated to what's above, Ed Poor, I see that several of your recent blocks have been indefinite. I used to do this a lot, but I no longer do because it can cause many innocent people to lose access to CP. Oftentimes, IP addresses get shifted around, so different, unrelated people end up using the same address at different times. That means that one indefinite block could affect many people over time. Also, vandals don't tend to be the type of people in a perminent location, so it is unlikely they will be using the same IP address after some time even if the address is the same in the same location.

I recommend five-year blocks instead with even shorter blocks necessary for less serious vandalism.
