Voting:Admin Team/Policy: Blocking/Warning - Passed

'''This is the current blocking/warning policy we have. Please vote yay if you agree with it as it stands, or if you don't agree with it, add under comments what you feel needs to be added or changed before voting.'''

Blocking is the means by which an administrator prevents a user account or IP address/range from editing the Camp Half-Blood Role Playing Wiki. Blocks are preventive rather than punitive measures used to prevent damage by dealing with vandalism and enforcing Camp Half-Blood Role Playing Wiki policies. Block duration may vary, depending on the severity and longevity of policies broken.

Requesting Blocks
If a user thinks someone needs to be blocked, they should contact an administrator. Users reporting a block should tell why the user deserves a block. They should be as specific as possible. An admin will then decide if the user deserves the block.

Wrongful block
If a user thinks they were blocked when they shouldn't have, they should explain why on their talk page. An admin will review it, and decide if the user should be blocked or not.
