User blog comment:IvyLover/How to give users infinite blocks./@comment-452-20141013015032/@comment-3247345-20141013042741

Agree with @JosephHawk. I've seen global blocks as short as a week for users who upload porn. If someone uploads porn on a site directed at minors they shouldn't come back, ever. They're a danger far beyond being an annoyance on a website. Another example of when infinite blocks are warranted is username blocks staff don't consider TOU violations but aren't acceptable for the wiki in question. They can always be unblocked should the name be changed. Indefinite doesn't always have to equal infinite. Wikipedia actually does this quite frequently. I know this will get pissed on the by the "infinite blocks are never justified" crowd but I just had to say that.
