I can see why this would work for some wikis but it wouldn't work for mine. I generally don't block for less than perfect edits and I find it better to fix the issue and try to keep anything good added. The blocks I issue are for generally malicious behavior that can't be construed good faith mistakes. Basically trolls and vandals. Even then it's usually temporary. If it's not I'm all for 2nd chances if someone can prove that they can make good contribs elsewhere and they want another chance and recognize the issue that got them blocked. If that's the case they can contact me elsewhere and prove it. I just think this kind of thing would be asking for trouble in the context I'm operating in. But all wikis are different so I can appreciate why this might be done elsewhere.
