Animal Crossing Wiki:Block policy

Blocks are used to deal with vandalism, disruptive behavior, bots, and inappropriate usernames. Administrators have the ability to block user accounts, as well as their IPs and even ranges of IPs if absolutely necessary. Blocks can be temporary or indefinite (often known as infinite bans or "permabans"). Administrators must take care to follow the proper procedures when using their blocking abilities.

Procedure

If users fail to follow the rules and policies of the Animal Crossing Wiki, official warnings should be issued, instructing them to stop their inappropriate behaviour. Increasingly severe warnings are issued if users continue to act disruptive towards the other users or destructive towards the wiki's content, and eventually, blocks of increasingly lengthy durations are used in place of more warnings. Some offences are more serious than others and warrant severe warnings or even blocks right away, with no prior notice.

My wiki:Warning policy outlines the proper procedure for administering warnings and includes lists of offences and how severe the punishment should be. This includes a number of offences that warrant automatic infinite bans, which will be discussed in detail in the following sections. If a user commits one of these offences, they should be blocked indefinitely, and as explained on the warning policy page, if a user received a last warning and breaks another rule, they should also be blocked, but only temporarily. If a user makes useful contributions as well as the disruptive behavior that earns them a block, their first block should only last two weeks. Once a user has been blocked and the blocks runs out, they can edit the wiki again, but if they start violating policies and/or breaking rules again, rather than receiving more warnings, they should simply be blocked again, this time for a longer duration. In general, three months should be the length of the second block. Upon returning from that block, if the user still persists with their inappropriate behaviour, they should receive an infinite ban.

However, this progression from two weeks through three months to a permaban is only a rule-of-thumb, and admins may choose to use longer or shorter blocks at any time. Block lengths may also be altered after they are initially given; for example, the admins might extend the second block from three months to indefinite if they discover additional offences committed by the user and decide that they have already used up all their chances to be a proper member of the Animal Crossing Wiki. Blocks may also be shortened or removed altogether if the admins decide that a certain punishment is too severe or if a misunderstanding occurred. If there’s a bot who creates non-animal crossing articles and user pages, they should be banned from this wiki.

Sockpuppet accounts

Their pages, Talk pages, and User pages should be deleted.

Articles

they can't create articles for non-animal crossing, the block for IP will be 3 days. when they create inappropriate articles the IP Addresses may be blocked for a week, and users block will be a indefinte block.
