Sorry, I put this on the other board. I'm re moving it here, and hope my other message can be deleted by someone. Thanks, Jost

It seems that you take the previous block and subtract the weeks since that block; then you apparently take that and multiply by 2 (or so, depending on whether you end up with a 0, in which case you add a number-- how is that number calculated?)
And what about all the other aggravating/mitigrating factors? How do they affect the length or even application of a block?
Is there a FAQ where this type of detail is laid out?

PS I'm very very saddened by the unfolding of events in this last few days and weeks, as I read them. I don't know the people involved, but it is so very very sad.
I'm sure there is limited time and resources here for working with people through complicated and disruptive experiences with other members of the board. But I wish there were some other way of dealing with people who make a contribution, and whose pain spills over.
I honestly don't know how these exchanges were evoked, but couldn't the people involved be put on moderation or something?
Or maybe some other intervention?
