The Amazing World of Gumball Wiki:Rules/Blocking

Main

 * Blocks are punishments given for violating policies which prevent the user from further editing. See Help:Block for more information.
 * It's highly appropriate for an administrator to warn a user who may have broken the rules instead of quickly blocking them.
 * If a user has vandalized a page, it'd be best to warn first, unless it's been repeated.
 * This excludes spam.
 * It's recommended to keep the block lengths for policy violations at minimum.
 * This excludes spam, vandalism and sock-puppetry.
 * Users who may have violated a policy their first time should always be given a second chance.
 * Administrators should always include a relevant block reason in the logs when blocking a user.
 * Never include insulting or spiteful comments in the block reason, unless quoting from the blocked user.

Other

 * It's recommended for administrators to investigate the contributions of the user in question so an appropriate block length can be settled.
 * Keep in mind that administrators may rule out different lengths in blocks depending on how they think is appropriate.
