Use the form below to block editing access from a specific username. This should only be done to prevent vandalism and protect the site. Remember to check the user's block log before blocking, and always fill in a reason for your block!

Blocking durations

Note: These durations are only guidelines, not policy; admins should always use their own best judgment.

• Offense: Simple vandalism not involving profanity or personal attacks.
• Duration: DO NOT BLOCK. A simple welcome (for new users) and/or warning will do.

• Offense: Simple vandalism involving profanity or personal attacks.
• Duration: A strong warning or 1 to 2 days block depending on severity.

• Offense: Complex and pre-meditated vandalism.
• Duration: 3 days to 1 week, depending on severity.

• Offense: Large amount of complex and pre-meditated vandalism.
• Duration: 1 week to 1 month, depending on severity.

• Indefinite Blocks: These should only be used in one of two circumstances:

1. For established users: Under the consensus of two or more administrators.
2. For new users: Vandalism after previous warning and a previous block.
