My Lego Network Wiki:Block

In wiki-jargon, a block is an administrator action that removes the editing privileges of a particular editor. Blocking is an action that usually comes with a warning, so it's not likely that you will be blocked if you don't have a "This is your last warning" message.

What will get you blocked?

 * Harassment of other users
 * Profanity/explicit material
 * Frequent disruptive spamming
 * Deliberately breaking policies to mock administrators
 * Sockpuppets/meatpuppets
 * Vandalism
 * Constantly creating non-Networker pages
 * Revealing illegal MLN codes

How blocking works
There are two types of block: Instant block and warned block.

Instant block
In very rare cases, an editor may receive an instant block that comes without warning. These cases are extremely uncommon, but there are cases that cause it:


 * Profanity/explicit material
 * Creation of accounts made to impersonate other users
 * Revealing illegal MLN codes

If you are making an attempt to avoid instant blocks, then you're probably not going to receive one. As said above, instant blocks are quite uncommon.

Warned block
After performing a moderately disruptive action, a user or IP may be warned to let them know that their actions are wrong in your sight, in the situation that they do not realize that. If you notice that a user blanked, vandalized, made too many NaN pages, etc., use the warn1 template to let them know:

If the user continues to do such actions, use the warn2 template:

If the user continues, then report the user/IP to an administrator, who will review the edits and, if he/she decides to block the user, uses the blocked template:
