Blocking vandals

Warning templates
PageName is optional

Blocking by an admin will occur after a certain number of acts of vandalism, the length of time will depend on the number of acts, and a note to that effect will be added to known vandals list:

  • If the user is seen to be posting with non-malicious intent, they should get a warning from the admin before a block occurs.
  • If the vandalizing user is obviously controlled by a bot (user), the block will be indefinite.
# of Acts Vandalism Block Time

5 acts 1 - 3 months
10 acts 1 year
20+ acts ∞ (permanent)

Note that the above list is a guide and the length will also depend on the style of the vandalism.

For reference you can look at the list of currently blocked users or the log of users who have been blocked.

Appealing a block

You can do this a couple of ways, but we recommend either on the IRC channel, or on your talk page. Kirkburn  talk  contr 12:48, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Leaving a message on your talk page assumes you can make another account. --Gengar orange 22x22 Fandyllic (talk · contr) 3:17 PM PST 10 Jan 2008
