If you intend to let staff set the ban time, here's a short snippet for quickly grabbing an English string and converting it to seconds. It's a rather crude and basic parser but it does a decent job. Interprets (value) (unit) such as "1 week", "3 days", "1 day", etc:

GetDurationFromString(string[])
{
    new
        value,
        type[16];

    if(sscanf(string, "ds[16]", value, type))
        return -1;

    if(value <= 0)
        return -1;

    if(!strcmp(type, "day", true, 3)) // only check 3 chars, technically "days" works, so does "daytona"...
        return value * 86400;

    if(!strcmp(type, "week", true, 4))
        return value * 604800;

    if(!strcmp(type, "month", true, 5))
        return value * 2628000;

    return -1;
}
