Starting today, thanks to Oded, moderators now have a way to give extended bans from review. When manually banning a user from the mod tools, moderators will see a list of options similar to what is shown when suspending a user:

Not only can you hand out longer bans, we've also adjusted the way automatic bans are handed out to users who fail audits. When calculating the automatic length of the ban, we check to see when the last ban ended and determine the new length based on the following requirements:

• If the user has never been banned from reviewing before, the ban will be for 2 days.
• If the time since the last ban ended is less than or equal to 30 days, then the new ban is double the length of the last one. This is not capped, meaning if the last ban was for 365 days, then the new one is 730.
• If the time since the last ban ended is greater than 30 days, then the new ban is half the length of the last ban or 2 days - whichever is greater.

This should help with reviewers who continually fail audits and need extended time away from reviewing. It also allows moderators to 'reset' the ban length by handing out a ban of a very short length, which would then be used by the automatic calculation of time-off.

This should help with reviewers who continually fail audits and need extended time away from reviewing. It also allows moderators to 'reset' the ban length by handing out a ban of any length, which would then be used by the automatic calculation of time-off.
