Hunger Games Roleplay Wiki:Warning/Blocking Policies

Occasionally, users unintentionally breach the rules, which subsequently they receive warnings, and later, if it is continued, blocked.

Requesting Blocks
If a user thinks someone needs to be blocked, they should contact an administrator. Users reporting a block should tell why the user deserves a block. They should be as specific as possible. An admin will then decide if the user deserves the block.

Wrongful block
If a user thinks they were blocked when they shouldn't have, they should explain why on their talk page. An admin will review it, and decide if the user should be blocked or not.

Reasons for Blocking
Admins will block someone for a variety of reasons.

Warning Policy
These are not to be used lightly. As this is a new and growing site, there is always the possibility that something that seems like a breach in policy, may not have a policy at all. A person can not be "officially" warned or blocked for something that does not have a policy on it. If something comes up that maybe should have a policy on it, but doesn't, then the administrators need create that policy, and then just politely tell the person in breach, that although there hadn't been a policy on that, there should have been, but as we are a new wiki we are still growing and learning as a community, and that if they do whatever it was that they did again in the future, it would in fact be a breach of policy.

Also, a user MUST be WARNED first before being blocked for any sort of cool down period.

First Warning
= What they did to breach policy.

Second Warning
= What they did to breach policy.

Final Warning
= The time period their cool down block will be for. = What they did to breach policy.

Temporary Ban
= Their user name.

= Number of days they will be blocked for.

= What they did to breach policy.

= Name of administrator enforcing block.
