Another question: Assumming the rules are stated and understood by all, and
"sentences" are fairly standardized, need non-admins be informed of the duration
of something like a time-out? I worry about this because I don't want to see
people beating up on a user while they're unable to defend themselves, nor do I
want their return to be marked as an event. In the past, I've not told other
people. Thus there was no feeling of obligation on part of the returning user to
"mark" their return. Do you know what I mean?
