## User Blocks

When a user is blocked, abilities of editing will be restricted. Users may receive a block for a period of time if found engaging in inappropriate behaviour as discussed above.

### Warnings

* Before an administrator issues a block, there must be seen efforts of educating the user on the wiki's guidelines and that their behaviour is conflicting with these rules.
* Users who have received a block or a block warning are encouraged to communicate with administrators to explain their reasons or justify their edits, so that administrators could hear their point of views.
	+ Engaging in inappropriate behaviour while trying to do so would be considered as making a personal attack or not adhering to a basic standard of civility and will increase the chances of the user being blocked.

### Blocking

* Recurring failure to adhere with the rules and guidelines would result in a short block of a few days.
* Repeated offenses even after being blocked would result in a block of lengthened duration. A user may be blocked infinitely after doing so several times.
