"Time periods" for blocking students

We can block students to post in a forum if they have used it very often. From a logical point of view there should be two time periods:
period 1 = before he is blocked and in which he has posted to much.
period 2 = how long he is blocked.

Which is the time period we can set here? Or is is choosen period for both periods the same?
