SIBs
No prejudice to user subject to SIB. Not a badge of shame (or pride) - only indicator that user's conduct tends to polarize opinion.

Users subject to three incivility blocks in the last twelve months that have subsequently been overturned become automatically subject to the special incivility block (SIB) procedure outlined on this page. Users currently subject to the SIB procedure are listed on this page below.

Once subject to special incivility blocks, a user remains subject to such blocks for a period of one year. Thereafter, they may automatically be removed from the list if (a) they have had no incivility blocks for at least twelve months, or (b) if a supermajority of users at AN agree that they can be removed from the list. After the first year, an SIB listing can be appealed every six months.

Users subject to SIBs may not appeal a civility block in the normal manner; they may only appeal at WP:AN. An SIB may only be overturned by a supermajority of participants. If an appeal of an SIB fails, the block length will be doubled; this is to discourage frivolous appeals. If, when initiating the appeal, the user retracts the statement/s that resulted in the block and apologizes to the recipient/s, the block length will not be doubled if the appeal fails. In block appeals, the length of the block may not be altered as a result of discussion; the block must stand or fail as originally imposed. Users are entitled to oppose a block on the basis that its length is excessive.

SIB blocks may be any length up to a maximum of one week, meaning that a failed appeal may result in a maximum block of two weeks.

Maybe allow normal unblocks - appeals then as a result of disputed overturn. Admin appeals.
