# there will be a range of times
from 10 seconds to a week.

Anything longer than that - we might as well just ban them properly.

EDIT: And about walking away... People remain on the step until they've pressed the button saying they'll behave. So they'll know they've been stepped, regardless of whether they're around or not.

# And it could be random
so you don't know how much spanking to expect and just wait, pressing F5 hopefully, to find out when you're allowed back!!!

or you could tell them and be fair

# yes
as it allows the mods to send a message to a user that they're serious about something without using modedits / email etc.
