Battlefield Wiki:Blocking Policy


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


 * Cool down blocks are unadvised, but not prohibited

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
 * Copyright violations (dealt with here)

If any of these infractions are committed, a warning should be given, and then if they re-offend, a 3 day block should be issued. Any times after this, the block will go up by 1 week intervals. Copyright violation is taken very seriously, multiple abuse despite warnings may result in a block.

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 times after this, the block will go up by 1 week intervals.

Major
Major Infractions:
 * Racism
 * 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.
