Scientific Wiki:Blocking Guidelines

Administrators and Bureaucrats may trigger a block on users who have violated policy/policies as a punishment. A blocked user would lose their privileges, such as being disabled from creating, editing or moving pages, unable to upload pictures and videos, and cannot add discussions on talk pages or any other user's talk page.

Blocking Lengths
A blocking length is determined on how serious the offense is or how many times the user has been blocked.
 * If the user is blocked for the first time, the blocking length is between 1 day and 1 week.
 * If the user is blocked for the second time, the blocking length is between 1 week and 3 months.
 * If the user is blocked for the third time, that is the last straw. The user will be blocked indefinitely.

Requesting an block appeal
Any user who is currently blocked may request an appeal by adding an appeal template on their talk pages.
