Kemono Jihen Wiki:Blocking Policy

Overview
The Kemono Jihen Wiki primarily follows the assumption of good faith, so users won't get in trouble for minor, isolated mistakes and infractions. An Admin or content moderator is always encouraged to inform a user about what they did wrong and explain why without issuing an official warning.

However, if users persistently fail to follow the rules and policies of the Bungo Stray Dogs Wiki, official warnings should be issued, instructing them to stop their inappropriate behavior. If said users continue to violate the wiki's policies, blocks of increasingly lengthy durations are used in place of more warnings. This is just as a general guideline though, and Admins may choose to use longer or shorter blocks at any time depending on the circumstances.

Blocks will be extended if additional offenses are discovered after the user has been punished. At the same time, blocks may be shortened or even removed in case of accidents, misunderstandings or if the user is proven to be innocent or unfairly judged.

Certain offenses are considered more serious than others and may result in direct blocks, with no prior warning.


 * The wiki will be following a "3 chances rule" for handling wiki vandalism:


 * 1st time: the user will get a warning telling them what they did wrong and to refrain from making such edits in the future.
 * 2nd time: the user will receive another warning. They will also receive a block from the wiki ranging from weeks to months
 * 3rd time: at this time the user will be told that they've used up all of their chances, and they will be blocked for either a year or permanently.


 * When you are blocked, you will not be able to edit any pages, nor will you be able to upload any files to the wiki.
