I don't agree with indefinite bans (I have already said that) but if they are going to be used admin/mods are at no liberty to disclose to us how long each one will last. The reason somebody is banned is because they have done something wrong, and an indefinite ban (which is an alternative to a permaban) is used for the more serious/bigger offences so again if somebody is bothered by it they should have thought about it before they did it especially considering they have been permabanned before no matter how it is sugar coated.
