2b2t Wiki:Blocking Policy

Blocking is the act of Administrators preventing users from editing the wiki for violating either the Wikia or local wiki policies for a duration of time. This is to help stop and discourage disruptive and destructive editing behavior from occurring. The duration of block can vary depending on the kind of action in question and may range from 24 hours to 2 months.

While some users may be intentionally making malicious edits, others may be editing in good faith while in violation of said policies. For this reason, users will typically receive a warning telling them to stop their disruptive editing with the assumption of good faith.

Issuing a warning
Admins should post a warning notice on the user's message wall describing an edit they made is not in line with wiki policy. To assist with this, a series of Warning templates can be used for this purpose.

These warnings are based on the User warnings WikiProject on Wikipedia which utilize a warning level that can be used in sequence. Admins should warn users using these templates from level 1 to level 4 in order. In some cases of excessive offenses, one may use the proper level that fits the situation including the immediate version of a suitable level 4 notice.

The user must be given at least one warning before being blocked except for very specific cases noted later in this policy.

Duration of a block
When a user is blocked by an admin, they may be blocked for a definitive length of time or in some cases indefinitely. The duration for a block depends on two things: The severity of the violation and the number of repeated offenses in a period of time. The following shows the progression of the length a block.
