This actually explains a lot.
I find that pretty concerning and disheartening. This is not good at all. You're actually discouraging users from trying to improve their behavior over time,since you, know what's the point of a toxic user turning over a new leaf and acting like a model poster if continuing on with toxic behavior that just barely skirts the rules results in the exact same moderation the next time (if any) they get in moderation trouble?
Then it seems to me that perhaps the easiest and best solution is to start considering such things when moderating. To be frank,I find it a bit surprising that such a common sense approach it isn't a factor already. It really, really should be. Users should be able to redeem themselves, learn from their mistakes, and the mere presence of an entry in a moderation history table shouldn't affect that.

I think you misunderstood, although we've always considered moderation history. What it doesn't mean, however, is that a 10-year-old moderation automatically guarantees you'll be moderated in the current time for the same thing. That is the point of the Progressive System. Should someone go moderation free (or specific moderation free) for an extended amount of time, said user won't have to follow the Progressive System. However, if you did something in June, and then in September, and then again in December, we would follow the Progressive.
And lots of posters have improved their behavior over time. The only folks who have seen continuous issue are those who have chosen not to improve, despite moderators working with them, offering light bans/Warnings and, since I joined, pushed for a PM system before tainting a clean user's history. Measures are in place to ensure abuse of the system doesn't happen (and, if it does, you'd send that issue over to myself or Ryuu96). What a user chooses to do with those things on the table is entirely up to them.
Regarding the poll, the idea would be to expunge very old and/or light moderations. This would not include discrimination, abuse of staff, threats, or Alternate ID extended bans.
