Tardis:Blocking Policy

The following policies may be changed at any time:

Blocking users from editing pages
Permanent blocking is not recommended, as several different parties may be using the same IP address, such as on school campuses or in internet cafes. Multiple offenses from the same IP address, however, may indicate a single user. The following are merely recommended procedures. Administrators are asked to make their own best judgement when deciding if an IP address should be blocked, and for how long.


 * For prank or other minor instances of vandalism, a warning is posted to the corresponding user talk page. For a second offfense, the offending party is blocked for 24 hours. For a third offense, blocking is for 72 hours. For each additional offense, blocking shall be for 168 hours, approximately one week.


 * For vandalism which includes profane, sexually explicit, abusive, or threatening language, a warning is posted to the offending party's user talk page. For each additional offense, party shall be blocked for 750 hours, approximately one month.


 * For spamming for commercial or adult sites, party shall be blocked for 750 hours without warning.
