Warning/Blocking Policies

Warning/Blocking Policies
Every time you are in violation of a policy, you will most times receive a notice. Some exceptions will be made, and you may get a warning right away, but it depends on which policy was violated. Three warnings in most cases, and you will be blocked. The time period of a block can go from a few days to permanent, depending on what you did. Also, if your block is over and you are still violating our policies, you will be blocked for a longer duration, up to a permanent ban.

For Regular Users:


 * All users will get warnings/notices before being blocked. Every user is entitled to a warning although some exceptions will be made. If we can tell that you are continuously disregarding these rules and purposely going against them for "fun", you may be instantly blocked.


 * Users are allowed to argue if their warning/block was about protesting, arguments, etc. If they feel the warning doesn't deserve to be there, Admins will meet up, and conduct a vote. Majority vote decides if the warning/block stays, or goes.


 * Users are allowed to argue if they are blocked without a warning, if they truely believe it was unfair, and can support their argument with facts about what happened.


 * Users are not allowed to remove a warning or a notice given to you off of your wall. This will result in a notice.


 * After 3 weeks, warnings will expire, and reset. If you no longer want them visible, let an admin know, and they will be deleted. Do not delete them yourself.


 * Users are not allowed to create sockpuppets to avoid blocks. This will get you, and the sock blocked for a longer time period.

For Staff:


 * Admins are allowed to give warnings to anybody but other administrators and higher.


 * The admin in most cases should give users three warnings before blocking them, along with a notice the first time a policy is violated, though sometimes that can be changed, based on the decision of the admin.


 * The block length of a user should be based off of the user's previous block, and should be a longer time than the previous one, though some exceptions can be made.


 * If an admin disagrees with a warning/block, they may state their disagreement to the warning/blocking admin. This would take it into the admin voting system, where the admins meet, vote on it, and majority vote decides if it stays or goes.


 * If an admin needs to be warned about breaking a rule themselves, a bureaucrat is allowed to do so. Please let a bureaucrat know if an admin is violating a rule, and hasn't been warned.


 * If an admin is blocked in any case, they will be demoted. They may re-apply in 2 months after the block,  if they haven't been blocked since. If they have, they will not be able to re-apply.


 * If a moderator is blocked twice, then they will be demoted. They may re-apply in 2 months after the block, if they haven't been blocked since. If they have, they will not be able to re-apply.
