Besides that, there should be limits on sanctions. For example, I think that we should limit all non-spam as well as some troll-like behavior blocks to, let's say, two years.
There's a bit of a contradiction here, Milos. If we want to attract new editors and keep existing ones, the way to do that is to reduce the trolling and disruption, not welcome back people who've caused it. The trolling and general silliness is (anecdotally) one of the main reasons established editors have been leaving, and it must be incredibly off-putting to new people too.

We need to do both things at once: near-zero tolerance AND ready, indeed, near automatic, coded, forgiveness.
And, of course, that should not apply to people who cause serious problems, or their facilitators.
