A word of advice for next time. When you block somebody you must be fair about it. Some users do learn from their mistakes and some don't. That's why it's up to you and the Admins to decide. It's not easy and it's not enjoyable.

The first block usually starts off with around day or a week. If the user continues to repeat the offenses, then the next suspension is built up from there, say 2 weeks. If the user makes six strikes then it becomes permanent. Blocking and permanent banning is only considered a last resort. With Vandals, Trolls and Sockpuppets it's an immediate ban.

Example

 * Strike 1: 3 days/1 week
 * Strike 2: 2 weeks
 * Strike 3: 1 month
 * Strike 4: 3/6 months
 * Strike 5: 6 months/1 year
 * Strike 6: Infinite
