Board Thread:Wiki Proposals/@comment-27663014-20171201023948

Proposal: This is NOT about making warnings permanent. This is a separate type of warning that doesn't expire after three weeks (or whatever the expiration timer is). It will only disappear if you get three warnings and are blocked, so you get a fresh start. Like a normal warning, it can be deleted by an admin, but it will not expire after three weeks. It is specifically for repeat offenders of a certain rule.

Ex. Someone makes a lot of unnecessary edits and gets plenty of warnings for them, but because of how they space them out, they are never blocked (this is hypothetical, if it seems like I'm pointing fingers, it's coincidental).

Reason: Right now, you can basically break almost any rule you want as much as you want and not get blocked so long as you space the rule breaking out right. Again, this is not issued after just a few times of breaking the rule, but breaking it repeatedly. Over and over. It will make it so that people can just frolic about breaking all the rules as long as they take a few breaks.

How it will change the wiki: It will make it so that people are less likely to break any of the rules, as there will be the risk of a permanant warning.

Just an idea.
