I think the formula for determining blocks now is much better than the rule before. Before your block was doubled, no matter how long you've been good. So lets say you got a block of 4 weeks before and you were civil for 3 years before making a mistake and being uncivil, your block would be 8 weeks.
Now the formula takes into consideration how long you've been without a block so you can bring your block length down to one week again after you've been good for a certain amount of time which depends on how long your block was previously.
This new system rewards people for being civil, unlike the last system. I like this one a lot better.
