I have no issues with giving the judge a 3-day option to ban; I suggested "auto ban" because it is how it happens to advies so the code already exists, and I didn't think there would be any real issues with it.
as for the other arguments, I think you are mixing up game mechanics with IG reality too much. The bans that can be levied against "criminals" is set up that way to provide some balance in the game.
if you prefer a 3-day max period so the defector has a chance to plot some scheme to avoid the ban, I'm all for it.
