Vikidia:Blocking rules
![]() |
This is rule, process on English Vikidia • Vikidia |
![]() |
This is a policy on the English Vikidia. |
Blocking is a way in which Vikidia administrators can prevent editors from vandalizing using Special:Block. This should not be looked at as a sanction. Blocking is also used to prevent damage, harassment, or disruption to Vikidia. Before blocking a user or IP address, it is important to know if he/she had a bad intention. If the user really had a bad intention, they should be warned, and if he continues, do not hesitate to block him/her. Blocking is not a provocation and so should not be used!

When not to block?[edit | edit source]
Administrators, be careful because the user may have had good intentions!
- When it comes to blocking, administrators need to be firmly convinced that the user had bad intentions. Administrators should not block a user if they are unsure if the user wants to help.
- Administrators should warn and notify the user or talk to them about the situation.
- Blocking is not a punishment or sanction, it is a warning to the user. Blocking should not be long enough to discourage users from editing after the end of the block.
- Again, admins must be firmly convinced that the user had bad or good intentions!
- Blocking in order to get some advantage is strictly forbidden!
