As an evolution of the idea, how about something like an "insurance
points" system where transgressions earn you points, and time takes them
away. I would hate to see someone who was a real jerk as a kid make it
to 4th offense, and then come back a couple years later and be cruising
along as a fine upstanding contributor, then whoops, they forgot a rule,
and wham, bye bye their gone (suspending for 1000 days will almost
certainly mean that person is GONE from the community).
