I think anything over a week or two is excessive. By then the thread with the offending post is played out and forgotten.
Blocks of several weeks or months isn't remedial but just plain punitive. I have to think hard to remember a time when I was punished in this way - perhaps grade school, time-out in a corner. Or being put on the "closed" ward while in the hospital. But in those cases, there's forgiveness within minutes or, in the case of the psych ward, a couple weeks.
Except for this post, I'm no longer participating at this site. I'll still browse for information on meds but otherwise I'm done. I've left kindergarten for good.
