In response to an earlier message I sent, "Cleared as filed" and me, Dzonatas, have discussed the issue somewhat. I've been unblocked early. There is a concern I still have that isn't directed at "Cleared as filed." I wrote the previous mail in haste, obviously. I only had a couple minutes to spare and wanted to take advantage of time that the block started. The 3RR policy is valid. By pragmatic review, not every admin blocks under the same conditions. This gives the effect of favoritism, either personal or political. I have many thought over many ideas in prevention, but I'll give just one that is do-able. If a user is under blocked under 3RR, allow a button to appear under the users page that directs the user to the policy. The button questions the user to agree to stay in accordance with policy and not edit the specific page for 24 hours. If the user agrees and presses the button, the block is undone. This allows the user to continue to edit other pages. If the user presses the button and resumes to edit the specific page, the block is reinstated for a duration longer than 24 hours. In the incidence with "Cleared as filed", I felt I was blocked inappropriately. Other users now use such block as means for character assassination. The above idea could allow an user to continue to talk on the discussion page, which would show that the 3RR is not punitive by default and prevent character assassination. In the same incidence, another user continued to show disruption by the use of tags to delete images that I have installed. The sources and copyright status of the images were obvious enough by guidelines; however, the user wanted to press the technicality of it. This user reported the block for which "Cleared as filed" instated. It would seem possible by this example that a user is able to game the system, get a user blocked, and add content under speedy deletion. This is why I sent the message in haste to report "Cleared as filed", as it would help make notice to not be so hasty to install a block and allow discussion. Obviously, not every admin has lots of time to investigate and often blocks on "the wrong version." This update would allow an admin to install a block and let the user to decide to unblock early if they agree to adhere to temporary terms, which is simply to not edit the specific article for a day. This continues to encourage discussion.
