I think Larry would get lots of votes, but I'm the only one who can't be blocked.

If each side issued a DNP, wouldn't that end any warfare?

"New" means not completely worked out yet. But the general idea is:
new block = (old block - time off for civil behavior) * multiplier
time off = weeks since previous block / 10
multiplier
= 1 if provoked
= 3 if toward a particular individual or group, particularly uncivil, or in multiple posts
= 2 otherwise
And first blocks (or blocks when the number to be multiplied is < or = 0) are 1 week.

I agree.

That's been discussed, see:

These deputies, they translate very well. :-) Is her restatement clear enough?
