I was thinking more along the lines of more explanation for new posters who might find the block lengths confusing or frightening. Or older posters who don't follow Admin. Something that wouldn't shame the blocked poster, but would reflect the reality of how a block comes to be so long.
But that's an interesting idea as well. It might cause people to scrutinize their posts a bit more closely. If Dr. Bob ever reduces block lengths, maybe that could be a part of the parole process.
I wonder if it would help to mention of the civility guidelines somewhere on the posting form itself, as I think there may be on the notification form? Or maybe it's the babblemail form.
