Endorsements

• Harassment is a bad-faith activity. We don't need bad-faith contributors for 3-6 months. Only the most addicted can't deal with a short 1-week block. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:48, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
• Harassment has left the obejctive level in a discussion. Such users poison the conversation and should contribute offline for more more produtivity in the projects. --Hans Haase (talk) 11:32, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
• The Ideas:
  • Grants:IdeaLab/Severe_punishments_for_harassers
  • Grants:IdeaLab/Maybe a system that allow people to report harassment? (and also a way to make sure they aren't abusing the system)

are simlar. Maybe the participation can be shared. --Hans Haase (talk) 11:47, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Opposition

•  Oppose The severity of the punishment should depend entirely on the severity of the harassment. There's no sense in "one punishment fits all" solutions. --Doveofsymplegades (talk) 10:27, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
