RationalWikiWiki:Block policy
From RationalWikiWiki
RationalWikiWiki block policy is based on several half-formed ideas, chief among them that we will avoid committing the same abuses that RationalWiki has perpetrated.
Contents |
[edit] Actions meriting blocks
Only these actions will merit a block.
- Pageblank vandalism
- Spam vandalism
Actions not listed are by definition not block-worthy.
[edit] Actions not meriting blocks
However much you would like to ban people for these actions, you can't. Sorry, but this is a wiki and anything they do can simply be reverted without having to block them. A few edits needing reverting does not a crisis make.
If the user in question is particularly consistent, we can always lock the page in question.
[edit] Block length
No block may last longer than three days unless dealing with a known vandal.
[edit] Help
If you feel you have been blocked unjustly please follow this question and answer process: (Some liberties may have been taken with the meanings of "question" and "answer".)
- Question 1 : Help. I've been blocked. What should I do?
- Answer 1 : Click this link
- Question 2 : Thank you. I mean what should I do if I wish to become unblocked?
- Answer 2 : What do you intend to post on RationalWikiWiki?
- Question 3 : I intend to edit my own article, get involved in edit warring and randomly blank articles.
- Answer 3 : Please see answer 1.
- Question 4 : Oh all right. I intend to write mildly insulting articles about what goes on at RationalWiki and the personalities there.
- Answer 4 : In that case get a sock and write something on an active sysop's talk page.
- Question 5 : I'm too stupid to figure out how to make a sock. What should I do? (And please don't refer me to Answer 1)
- Answer 5 : We make the jokes, OK?. Anyway, the solution is to make a note on RationalWikiWiki's talk page on RationalWiki.
