Oh, sorry, I wasn't clear. I would be against having a small permanent group. By a small group what I meant is that if *any* three sysops agree they can ban someone temporarily.
We've had some suggestions of this nature before (the "three strikes" policy, for instance). I'd prefer to think of it as a "multilateral" block (as opposed to the unilateral ones that always get unblocked). That way if, say, three sysops got together and listed a user for blocking, he could not be unblocked until three or more sysops got together and listed him for unblocking.
