Basic Principles

• Registered users, i.e. those who have made an account, should be given less lenient punishments

• Cool down blocks are unadvised, but not prohibited

• Anybody who has a conflict of interest shouldn't block anyone. If somebody needs a block, warn them and then get another, independent, admin to review weather to block or not

Minor

Minor Infractions:

• Changing a word to a different, inappropriate one
• Changing a sentence to different, inappropriate statement
• Blanking articles
• Creating Spam articles
• Minor Personal attacks
• Spamming comments on blogposts
• Copyright violations (dealt with here)

If any of these infractions are committed, a warning should be given (using {{Warning|Article vandalised}} or {{Warning/Comment|Blogpost}} for commenting related infractions.), and then if they re-offend, a 3 day block should be issued. Any time after this, the block will go up to 1 week and then up by 1 week intervals.

Copyright violation is taken very seriously, if images are uploaded with incorrect licenses in the future, the user will receive a warning. If on another occasion they do the same, then a 1 day block should be issued.

Moderate

Moderate Infractions:

• Vulgar or Sexual edits to articles
• Several Personal attacks, or Moderate personal attack
• Blanking multiple pages within an 24 hour period.
• Creating vulgar spam articles, or multiple spam articles

In case-by-case issues, a Moderate Infraction can warrant an automatic 2 hour to 10 hour block. These shorter blocks will be more commonly issued to established editors, ones who have been on the site at least 3 days since their first edit. Other users may be issued a 3 day block. Any time after this, the block will go up to 1 week and then up by 1 week intervals.

Major

Major Infractions:

• Racism, Sexism, etc.
• Sexual statements about another editor or IP
• Multiple major personal attacks
• Blanking more than 10 pages in a row
• Major vandalism to a single or multiple articles
• Deleting articles without reason (applies to administrators)

For these, a 3 day block will be immediately issued from the discovery of the infraction. The block of IPs in this case can be raised to a whole month. If repeated, blocks of up to 1 year may be issued.
