MSPA Wiki talk:Block policy

Length of blocks
So we kind of need to come up with guidlines for the lenght of blocks? The article atm just uses placeholders. Discuss away.

My suggestions were:


 * minor spam, additional rule breaking --> 1 week
 * vandalism --> 1 to 3 months
 * severe vandalism --> 1 to 3 months

Now you might wonder why vandalism and severe vandalism get the same range. Well my idea was that the only difference between them should be that admins can act directly without handing out a warning in case of severe vandalism. You could argue that severe vandalism should be punished harder and I am open to to that, actually I just gave out a 1 year ban for uploading extremely pornographic photos (maybe that was a bit of an overkill). Now, I think most of the time an admin just knows how long they should block someone and I don't want you to think I am trying to set rules into stone here. I just think we need some guidlines, so we don't give out completly different block lenghts. - bitterLime 19:36, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
