I think it would even be fine without such an offer. Unless we're talking about
an amnesty followed by an inability to re-block those who abuse it, I think
this would only be a irritation in the short term, especially if it's done in
an opt-in rather than opt-out manner (i.e., you must put the {{unblock}}
template on your page and ask for the amnesty in order to be
unblocked/unbanned).
