But hey, let's just ban all users while we're at it as a preventive measure to get rid of flaming & trolling as well. While we're at it the site may as well not exist since there might be some problems that arise. Guess that's the end of SouthPerry guys.
I'm still not getting exactly what you're complaining about? Why don't you try actually stating your issue instead of just lashing out at change in general?
Mods should not have to waste time on things that can be automated. This is true of every ounce of life. You don't waste time writing a paper when you can print it. You don't waste time walking all over town when you can use faster transportation. The less easily automated crap a mod has to deal with the more they can devote to other things and the fewer mods we need overall.

That point varies wildly. Sometimes a day or two, sometimes by over a year. I did initially state however the 21 was an arbitrary compromise between the 14 and 45 to determine if it was too soon/too long.
So far the best alternative I've heard is giving some forums a longer window than others, but that's approximately the same as just excluding those altogether so is already an available option.
