[FairfieldLife] Overposting Ban

[Rick Archer]

From now on, when someone gets banned for overposting, the ban will cover
not just one calendar week from the day they overposted, but the remainder
of that week, plus the entire following week, Friday to Friday. So for
instance, Shemp, who overposted yesterday, will be out until a week from
Friday - i.e., midnight on the 17th.

As I mentioned a while ago I though that you should have done that all 
along.  Someone may mess up on the count towards the end so they will be 
penalized less than those who overpost earlier in the week (often 
intentionally).  This also makes it easier for you as you have to 
restore posting rights only once a week rather than multiple times.  It 
is possible though rare to receive duplicate posts via email so I may be 
looking into adding the message ID parsing to the Post Count script so 
it can eliminate duplicates.  I even received a duplicate of one of mine 
this week.
