User blog:Batorhos/Vandalism

I've noticed all admins give a ban, without a warning for a vandalism offense. For instance, yestererday, an admin blocked an IP contributor for adding content to a page (I think he didn't know he wasn't supposed to edit it, but he was kinda trying to improve it), and the admin blocked him for vandalism and when undoing his/her edit, added the summary as "DIE VANDAL". This is obviously not the best way to get more users. I think you should give them a strike, like the rules state, and inform them that what they were doing is vandalism, and that it's illegal. Then, if they continue, the admin should block them. This should be a rule, so I request a rule called The Punishment Should Be Fit The Crime. For instance, admins should not give a user an infinite ban for a signle vandalism offense, just a strike, and then explain to them what they were doing. --Bator.hos 03:23, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
