Well, we could have a Help page for it (and link to the blocking policy). It would give an option for permanently banned/ long term banned editors the chance to renounce the ways that got them banned in the first place, and come back to meaningful community contributions. (There are a number of cases the CzechOut listed where that's happened). Even someone who used Sock-Puppetry who realised (months later) that what he did was wrong, and later was allowed back in because he'd been helping Wikia elsewhere during that time (An Admin and a Patroller on various wikias).
