Basically a warning point is equivalent to a one month block. It would take quite a few "severe" warnings and greater than one month blocks (or a long time on the wiki receiving warnings) to be infinitely blocked. Warnings could be about a large range of topics. A question to consider - is a "minor" warning worth a one month block?

At the moment whether or not someone is blocked or receives a warning is 100% judgement-based (minus a few instances) and, of course, varies per Admin. So one Admin could block one user for say two months while another could issue a "severe" warning for three points (or yet another issue an infinite ban). One guarantees a block, the other doesn't. How I see it this system isn't going to solve much looking at the entire wiki.

Logging warnings by itself could be an idea (granted message walls already do this - even if a user removed them they are still in the wall history). I would rather the wiki use a greater variety of blocking lengths (short blocks are nearly non-existent and can be an effective tool instead or in combination with more "severe warnings").
