I tend to go with 3 days -> 1 week -> indefinite, if the user is an obvious troll. If the user is a sock-puppet attempting ban evasion, or if the user has uploaded pornography, I just cut straight to indefinite. If the user lacks experience then I normally do 1 day (sometimes skip this) -> 3 days -> 1 week -> 2 weeks -> 1 month -> 3 months -> 6 months -> 1 year, although depending on the situation, I may still proceed to indefinite, after a certain number of blocks. If the user is unregistered, then I just extend the block each time without giving them an indefinite block.
