Board Thread:User Wiki Issue Reports/@comment-24003134-20140307061159

Hello all, this is a proposed block length guide for admins created by Kuby, but it must have been forgotten or never published to the community. I have created this thread to give a rough guide on the block lengths for the Knights & Dragons Wiki. As the wiki grows it is important that block logs are checked for user/IP history of previous blocks so that the proper block length can be administered.

Here they are in a bit more detail:

Spam
Spam is sending the same or similar message, comment, thread, discussion or file. It is against Wikia terms of service and will not be tolerated. This also includes posting friend codes or guild advertisements not in the appropriate sections (Share:Friend Code, Share:Guild, User Profile).

Blockable offenses for spam include:
 * Friend Codes anywhere other than Share:Friend Code or on the users Profile
 * Friend Codes multiple times on one page
 * Guild Advertisement anywhere other than Share:Guild or on the users Profile
 * Guild Advertisements multiple times on one page
 * Spamming of links to external sites
 * Repeated comments
 * Creation of multiple threads on the same topic with bad intent
 * Uploading the same image/video multiple times with bad intent
 * Spamming the Live! Chat
 * Spamming other users blogs or pages

Vandalism
Vandalism is any action involving the deliberate destruction or intent of destruction regarding other user's pages, the forums, wiki pages, categories, topics, blogs, etc.

Blockable offenses for vandalism include:
 * Removal of usable or correct wiki pages without valid reason
 * Removal of correct, usable or relevant information
 * Editing with bad or destructive intent
 * Inserting false information
 * Inserting nonsense/gibberish into pages
 * Moving pages or renaming with bad or destructive intent
 * Editing other users messages or comments with bad or destructive intent
 * Posting of personal information regarding other people

Sock-puppeting
Sock-puppeting is where multiple accounts are created by a user to vouch or vote, to talk about themselves or another user to avoid blocks or anything of disinterest for the user. These can be misleading accounts to appraise, defend, support a user or avoid blocks. The general rule is "One Editor, One Account".

Blockable offenses for sock-puppeting include: If sock-puppeting occurs the puppet account will be blocked for infinite time, and the block should not be repealed at all. For the user who created the puppet account the block length should be between 1 week and 1 month depending on the severity of the issue.
 * Sock-puppeting

Other
Other blockable offenses include:
 * Unacceptable username
 * Abusing multiple accounts
 * Breaking policies
 * Adding pages that are copyright violations
 * Minor issues
 * Anything that an admin finds worthy and fair for a block
