We (the moderators) have unfortunately had to ban some users for negative contributions towards the wiki. With this in mind, we have thought up some guidelines for when we will be using bans. Please remember that these will be used as a last resort - don't be afraid to edit and make a mistake - you won't be banned!
- For minor vandalism (i.e. blanking pages,) from a user, we firstly ask them to stop, then secondly warn them they'll be banned if they continue then ban them for 1 day, 3 days.
- For minor vandalism from IP addresses, we rollback the first one then if they do it again (easy to check what contributions they've made) block them for 3 days.
- For major vandalism (i.e. repeatedly making pages that insult people, repeatedly changing redirects to different pages, repeatedly attacking "important" pages like the main page etc.) from a user, we do a one-day ban immediately and leave a message on their talk page for when they're unbanned.
- For major vandalism from an IP address, it's a straight 3 day ban.
These guidelines have been put in place for the few users who choose to vandalise. Thanks to the majority of contributors who are helping this site become a success!
