Regarding temporary bans,
How much trouble would it be to create a timed ban?
I imagine such bans could be called Cool Off Periods of say 12, 24, 36, or 72 hours, both parties in an edit war being banned for the same amount of time, so that neither feels the W has sided with the other party?
I don't think that's a good idea. Edit wars are completely different than vandalism because it's just one page. I think that our current policy of protecting the page is sufficient. If it were possible for developers to make it so that a particular sysop couldn't edit a page, I think that would help, but a situation where this would be needed hasn't come up yet. Cool off bans for [multipage] trolls and vandals, IMO, would be good. LDan
