>Absolutely, but how can you tell? If they have committed enough offenses to be blocked for a long enough time to warrant requesting a shorter sentance, then haven't they already displayed an unwillingness (or inability) to post civilly? I see the blocks more as protection for those who are posting than as punishment for the uncivil. As such, I would prefer to see the interests of the posters held above the interests of the uncivil.
I would not object as much if you shortened a 1 week block as when you shorten the lengthy ones. The lengthy ones are not a surprise to their recipients.
