'''Blocking''' is to prevent a contributor from editing the wiki, this can be done by a staff member of the wiki. There are various of reasons for blocking a contributor from the wiki. Most contributors sees blocking as a punshment and something they start to rebel against to. Blocking is meant to prevent further damage or disruption. Blocks sometimes are used as a deterrent, to discourage whatever behaviour let to the block and encourage a productive editing environment. |

If there are contributors with disruptive behavior, the contributors that are against it can ussue a request to one of the staff members to have the contributors that are causing disruption or harm to the wiki to be blocked. However, contributor should not issue the request of banning other contributors simply with the reason of disliking them, what they have done to them somewhere else, or not trusting them because of their various reasons. This also goes for staff members that are banning contributors without a solid reason. To send the request to a staff member, the contributor should leave a message through the [[template:request|request]] template. |

The contributor can request a block for another user by contacting a staff member. Only come with a very good reason why you believe that contributor should be banned from the wiki. The staff can block a contributor directly, but they can also send a warning, depending how serious the issue actually is. If you got banned, do not try to solve the problem through a different way. You can do that by editing your own talk page and ask for the reason why you have been banned from the wiki. It can lead to unbanning your status if it was unjustified. |
