Good Vibes Wiki:Blocking Policy

Below are the standard warning and blocking situations and expected durations which may be adjusted as needed.

No one likes getting busted by the man, however, if you feel you've been blocked unfairly or by accident, drop me a line and I will consider removing your block. A simple discussion will resolve most of these problems. Even if blocked, you should still able to leave a message on Community Central. This is the best way to get ahold of me due to the lack of activity on this wiki.

Stop and Read Blocking
A "Stop and Read Block" is used to stop editing so the editor can read the admin's issues with the edit(s) performed. Most "Stop and Read Blocks" are set for fifteen minutes with a few being for up 8 hours in the case of distraction editing on a new episode night. They are not considered as punishment, and will end once the user confirms they read the admins wishes on the users talk page or when the time given expires.

Minor standards violations
Minor standards violations such as failing to follow proper formatting will result in at least two verbal advice/warnings before a block. A third violation may result in a block of at least one day and not to exceed three months. Four or more may result in permanent removal from this wiki. These blocks can be easily removed by acknowledgement of standards.

Bulk edit violations
Editors that have decided to make their introduction in a big way may commit multiple violations of policy in one sitting without getting caught as above. While administration has tools that can reverse most of these immediately, they can be frustrating. While a warning should be the primary goal, depending on the severity, a block of up to three months may be issued until acknowledgement that warning notes will be followed.

Edit Warring
We get it, you're proud of your additions, but not everything added is noteworthy, needed, correct or comprehensible. Fandom's "anyone may edit" is not a promise that all information is kept. Often, these edits are removed without comment. If you are concerned about why your edit was removed, please direct all inquiries to the locations above. Returning it a second time without asking 'why?' will result in a warning with the explanation as to why it was removed. Continuing to replace it after an answer is provided may result in expulsion.

Inserting false information
This policy has two separate standards:

Incorrect but well-meaning additions will probably be accompanied by a note as to why they are incorrect. No disciplinary action will be taken unless the editor displays a habit of such misinformation, in which case they move to the next level:

Vandalism
Edits judged to be a deliberate effort to harm the wiki may result in immediate lifetime removal. This will also include Spam and Removal of content.

Other lifetime ban situations
Abusing multiple accounts to get around previous blocks, Fandom's Terms of Use violations and Unacceptable usernames will be grounds for removal. Under the latter, a user may appeal after changing said name.

Questions or comments regarding additions or deletions to this policy page should be directed to my talk page at community central above. Buckimion (talk) 13:05, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
