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

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.
