...sounds good to me. I think 24 hours for temporary ban is reasonable... and I'm not against there being a mechanism in code that auto-unbans after that time, perhaps even by default.
I think there may be a need for several lengths of "temporary ban" perhaps depending on the offence, perhaps depending on the number of repetitions of the offence, perhaps depending on factors I haven't thought of, but which discussion might determine have an impact.
Perhaps within #3 there could be a 24-hour ban, then a 7-day ban, then a 30-day ban...gives lots of opportunity for the user to reform...seems better than constant 24-hour bans or leaping too quickly to long-term ban.
