Gran Turismo Wiki:Blocking policy

This page discusses the blocking procedure here on Gran Turismo Wiki.

Punitive blocks
Blocks that are intended to punish a user should not be made. The block tool is to be used to protect the wiki. An administrator who performs any sort of punitive block will have their tools revoked and, depending upon the severity of the violation, may also be banned or blocked.

Reasons for blocking
As stated above, the block tool should only be used to protect the wiki and its users. Therefore, legitimate reasons for blocking are:


 * The account is a sockpuppet of a recently banned user
 * The account is abuse-only
 * The account has participated in one or more lengthy edit wars
 * The account has been chronically incivil

or any other reason stated by the community.

Citing reasons
The reason a user has been banned should never be revealed to the community. If the user has email enabled, the blocking administrator should email the user the reason for his blocking as a measure of privacy.
