It depends on the crime. If it's vandalism, we can give them three warnings, then they get a block of a month or so. If they persist, 6 months, than infinite. The table above was just an example. Of course users need warnings. If we just blocked them straight away it would be totally unfair. Not to mention the fact it would be a total waste of Warning templates
