Very true. Some posters are definitely worthy of lifetime bans, but not everyone who gets a ban falls into that category. Sure, you can PM the moderator and ask or beg to be reinstated, but if one feels they were banned unnecessarily, they might be a little resentful.

I was trying to propose a system that had varying degrees of punishment. I believe this would serve the moderator in that, were they contemplating a ban, they might act sooner with a short ban, rather than cluttering up the thread with warnings and more infractions. It might also let the punishment fit the crime, as when someone crosses a line either inadvertently or if there is some justification involved. A ban is still a ban, even if only for a week, but it at least has an expiration date.
