...Allow me to re-explain.

If a user gets unblocked at this level, and they try to do bad, the limiter will only allow them to do so much. Also, at this block level, the IP would be blocked so users couldn't just log out and do bad. If they mess up, the limiters will prevent them from doing too bad while the admins re-block them. If you do good for the duration, you can be unblocked without fear. The limiters prevent abuse from happening by keeping the possibility of it low, and it helps tell the user that "hey, we trust you more, don't mess it up". Yes, you can have this policy without a new group, but I don't see the harm in it.
