B = 1 + (SD - 1) * exp(-P/r)
B = block length
S = severity
D = duration of previous block
P = period of time since end of previous block (in weeks)
r = 24 / ln 2 ~ 35
Ok so this is the formula, right? Sounds like the severity determines the block (in addition to the repeat offenders....) sounds like it's an equation that takes into consideration the crime and punishment- but I don't know if it is working based on what I read above. How do others feel?
Please let me know if I am interpreting this wrong- of course I have not history of this so my interpretation is speculation based on what i found in the policies..... Scott, feel free to babblemail me if you want to and maybe I could get more information from you to help support your cause... I know you have been supportive of me and others so I trust you must have a concern with the rules or you wouldn't have posted. Let me know what I can do!
Thanks
FM
