User blog:Infinityblade2995/Spamming, Block times

Making 4 very minor edits on a page in a very short period of time is a form of spamming as that could've very easily been 1 edit rather than 4.

As you might already know, we have decided to stop giving Jordan chances and have therefore imposed a 1 year block on him. His relentless spamming in all forms, including the one in the first paragraph and redundant category spamming, ignoring of warnings, and his failure to change after short blocks means we have to give him a 1 year "cool down" for him to contemplate his mistakes and try to change his ways, if he still cares after all that time.

So far, what we know is that he has indefinitely blocked both me and Minh on a wiki I never thought of visiting. Then he messaged me on that wiki about how "serious" he is. I explained to him why he was blocked and why the duration of the block is 1 year.

Why do you think we block people for these kind of periods? If a short block fails to change the ways of the blocked user, he shall be blocked again and for a longer duration. The point of these blocks are to:

1. Cool the user down by making him unable to contribute to the wiki for a duration of time.

2. Make him contemplate and hopefully change his ways so he will not repeat his mistakes.

We have given Jordan far too many chances, and by that I mean we have given him rather generous block times and since he has still not changed his ways, he needs to be given a longer cooldown.

Additionally, another user who has been given too many chances is Nemolee.exe, who gets blocked for all kinds of reasons due to a general failure to be disciplined and accept the rules for what they are. I will give you a few more chances NLG, but if you are ultimately too stubborn, you will eventually get a harsher punishment.

TL;DR: My stance of spamming shall be more strict, and those who have been given many chances are reminded to be careful.
