Is there no way to change it from 24 hrs to something less punitive? To be honest, I don't see that if an admin passes down a so-called "sentence", that it keeps being extended is fair at all. However, just as its true no-one who has ever been blocked has agreed with it, so its true that almost all admins think their block is justified, and see nothing wrong with their actions.
If a person wants to circumvent a block, they can and do. The extending block is overly harsh. 24hr block should mean 24 hours, not 48...

I've unblocked you. It seems as if blocks are not expiring properly. I assume this has something to do with the new media wiki software. Will somebody in the know please fix this. In the meantime will all admins keep an eye on the list of blocked IP's and manually unblock all blocks whose time has expired.
24 hours are added on to the sentence each time the same IP address is used to access Wikipedia, even innocently.
