The reason I don't take blocks as a punishment is because that is Wikipedia policy (WP:BLOCKNOTPUNITIVE states that "blocks should not be used in retaliation against users; to disparage other users; as punishment against users; or where there is no current conduct issue of concern."

Do whatever the hell you want here. If you want blocks to be punishment, so be it. I don't have the time to argue anymore.

To admins, when imposing any block of any sort, make sure that the user IS ALLOWED to post on their own message wall. They get that right to explain to others (if they think their block was unfair). If this privilege is taken without any discussion, it is okay for them to move on to other wikis to address their concern.

@AbstractHorizon, while I don't really appreciate your tone (though I understand you're angry), you do prove a point. Blocks should only be used for a short period of time (believe me, 3 days is already ages) and should be the LAST RESORT.

Toodles!
