Line 685: ::A 1-hr block, is not sufficent (IMHO), one could go for a nice walk & by the time he/she returned, the block would've expired, or hang out at another website. Not all editors are 'glued' to Wikipedia. [[User:GoodDay\|GoodDay]] ([[User talk:GoodDay\|talk]]) 15:11, 10 February 2010 (UTC) :::Well that's the problem - a one-hour block is basically just meant to say "look I can block you". It's a demonstration of power, not a measure likely to produce positive results by removing or rehabilitating a problem contributor. [[User:Christopher Parham\|Christopher Parham]] [[User talk:Christopher Parham\|(talk)]] 15:22, 10 February 2010 (UTC) In my experience short blocks do in fact help with new users who are perhaps testing the limits. They are less effective for long term users. [[User:Chillum\|Chillum]]<small> <sup>(Need help?
