What are you talking about? I think that the process is too bureaucratic. It usually takes 2 weeks to a month to ban someone. EntmootOfTrolls was discussed atleast 2 weeks ago, maybe before that. Same with BudhaInside. And those people haven't even been banned yet.
Hephaestos stated (and Anthere replied) that he was going to ban Mr/Ms.. Inside in 24 hours from a notice he posted here and on the corresponding problem user page and that unless anyone objected he would do so.
Any time periods for making such a decision should be taken from some point. I was stating that Heph.'s 24 hour consulation period is way too short and thus I am agreeing with you and the process. Indeed it is Jimbo that must do the banning not Hephaestos and maybe his statement to that effect gets the ball rolling, but I do not think it is a good idea for someone to give a 24 hour deadline as a time frame to create a consensus. That is not a sufficient period of time to give the whole community notice for any kind of decison making.
I should point out, however, that I find the activity of the person in question to be very frustrating and time consuming and understand Heph's frustration and his need to make such a demand to the community. But up to this point many have seen Mr/Ms.. Inside as being a problem user, not someone who necessarily needed to be banned. I think that creates a difference in the minds of some people. It certain seemed to me that s/ he is a problem user, but maybe s/he was just just a newbie with a very unique idea of Wikipedia. I too think the user in question should be banned as a recidivist troublemaker (at least temporarily until s/he gets some perspective on what Wikipedia is all about).
