View submission: Shhh! Introducing new modmail mute length options

Can you give some insight as to why perm mute isn't an option?

Can we unlock the option if we have had to mute the same user multiple times.

e.g. If the user has been muted 3 times in the past, we then become able to perm mute the user?

I think the idea is that the user should always be able to eventually appeal the ban. For example, what if the account was hacked? 28 days is probably enough time to deter most trolls. If not, you can report to Reddit admins.

That just gives abusive mods another tool to silence actual discussions. Pass.
