There is already a system in place for that. Its still up to the local servers to enforce it. The current local ban system has a 14 day ban for severe vulgarity or racism. These ban times were set up after polling the servers to find out what their standard times were that they usually used for punishment.
They are however just a guideline to help standardize some of the usual problems that servers come across. Most servers will start with a jail time then increase the punishment as offenses increase. There is also a 30 day ban for multiple jailings and in extreme cases the 10 year "hacking" ban is used to bar them completely from the server. When its used though, the server should specify in the comments as to exactly why they are using this ban.
The PWA try, whenever possible, to not interfere with what the local management. We are not here to tell them how to run their servers as long as they make a reasonable attempt to follow the Rules of Conduct and Terms of Service.
Aimee comes from a GP background so I do understand why her focus would tend to be on a rules enforcement side. It is extememly helpful to have had that type of experience but it definitely isn't the only focus of a PWA.
