I don't think anyone is proposing short bans without due process. We're just considering whether short bans might be an effective remedy in certain circumstances. Apparently they are according to Meatball.

I think sometimes a ban for a day may do more good than a ban for a year.

Btw, don't edit it. We have too many Wikipedians on meatball already. Just appreciate the sublime beauty(horror) of the ideas... ;-)
Where is the protection button ? :-)
I think no one should be short banned without a clear process and global agreement upon using this sort of action. Currently, we do not know who could decide of such an action, and we do not have any arguments laid down. Plus we confuse "short ban" as a mean to cool down the editor, "short ban" as a mean to give a break to the group, and "short ban" as a way to get around due process.
