'''Support'''

# '''Support''', as per nominator. ;-) [[User:Hall Monitor|Hall Monitor]] 21:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

# '''Support''', agree with the above statement by nominator, YamalaYamla is a very helpful and polite wikipedian and you have my support for adminship :) I'll be a lot nicer to you in future! [[User:Sarz|Sarz]] 01:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

#'''Support'''. In addition to Hall Monitor's comments, I often notice Yamla orphaning and tagging unsourced images. Yamla is sure to make a good administrator. [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 17:40, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

#'''Support'''. We almost got into a revert war over [[Civilization IV]] a while ago. Yamla was remarkably polite and open-minded, and we solved everything in a matter of minutes[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mareino&oldid=27383048]. I left the experience with such a positive feeling about Wiki that I soon became an RC Patroller myself. --[[User:Mareino|Mareino]] 19:41, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

'''Comments'''

Line 109 ⟶ 108:

::A. Let's assume that there's no reason to believe the IP address is shared or that new owners are likely to hop to the IP. Further, let's assume that we had previous blocks of an hour, four hours, a day, and then three days, and that basically '''all''' of the edits are bad. I think the next step is a week. I think if a user has been warned and then blocked for a week and ''still'' comes back and vandalises, it's probably worth another block of a week or so with a warning that the block can be made permanent. Blocks are a sort of "cooling-down" period. Repeated blocks that don't change behaviour show that the user probably has no intention of being a good editor. I'm not sure a cooling down period of longer than a week would have much value and I think if the user has had six or more blocks and still hasn't changed, I think it is time to look at getting consensus for a permablock. If the assumptions are incorrect, the block should be shorter and the users should be encouraged to get real accounts. If someone has evidence that blocks of longer than a week have resulted in a user starting to contribute valuable edits, I'd love to see it.
