Mods already give out 3 day+ bans in many cases without ever warning. So getting three 5 point infractions before the first ban definitely seems way more conservative. Also don't forget about the warning option on the first two infractions that doesn't add points at all.

Using a smaller number of points seemed like the right way to go when I was first thinking about it. But the more I considered all the different ways this system would be used, the more it seemed clear that warnings and a 3 strike small infraction before the first ban would fit well.
