Proposals/Blocking policy (revision 10)/voting (2024)

Contents

If a user is violating any rule, administrators must resolve the problem and politely notify the user of their wrongdoing by giving one warning on their message wall.

If a user breaks two different rules, that counts as one warning for each rule. A user that breaks the same rule twice merits will receive a block.

If a warned user continues to break the same rule within twenty-four hours without acknowledging the warning, the an administrator should try to will contact that user again by replying to the original warning message.

If the warned user continues to break the same rule for twenty-four (24) hours after the administrator tried to contact them again after twenty-four (24) or more hours have passed since the original warning thread was posted, or any period of time after the user has acknowledged a message on their message wall, the user will be blocked for a maximum of fourteen (14) days.

Any user who continues to violate the rule for which they were blocked within seven days after their initial block ends will receive further penalties another block of greater duration, with the extent of the increase in block length depending on the rule(s) violated and the severity of the offense at the discretion of the administration. Users who continue to break a rule they were blocked for previously will not receive further warnings before another block is imposed.

Exceptions[]

Any user who commits offenses that are very serious to the point in at which they harm the wiki or threaten a user may be blocked immediately for any given amount of time at the discretion of the blocking administrator.

Any user who spams, vandalizes, harasses, or threatens a user or the wiki as a whole as their first contribution or interaction may will be blocked immediately without warning, for a duration of two (2) weeks. If they continue to violate such rules after their block, they shall be given an infinite block.

Users that misuse spelling and/or grammar, unintentionally use improper formatting, and/or make an accidental edit shall not be blocked.

Blocking the user[]

When an administrator blocks a user, they must use the {{Blocked}}​ template inform the user that they have been blocked via a message on their message wall to notify that they have been blocked. This allows the blocked user to know that they have been blocked and the reason, so that they can be linked to the policies to better understand our rules, as well as learn how to appeal a block.

Administrators must leave the user's message wall open in order for the blocked user to make an appeal case so that the user can informally enquire about the block, should they so wish.If a blocked user abuses their wall privileges by spamming, threatening, or harassing other users, before making an appeal case, they have forfeited their chance to make an appeal for the duration of the block and can will have their message wall privileges removed until the end of their block.

A bureaucrat may unblock the user if they deem it an unfair block. If any other bureaucrat is in disagreement, the bureaucrat disputing the block must start a block review.
