Help:Block policy

From Rationalwikiwki

RationalWikiWiki block policy will be based on the following:

Block reasons

• Vandalism will merit a block.
• Edit warring will merit a block.
• Editing your own article to make you look better may merit a block at Sysop discretion. (Remember that if you don't like your article page you should whinge pathetically about it on the talk page.)

Block length

Block length will be randomly based on one of the following. It is closely based on RationalWiki's real block policy. *Sysops may arbitrarily chose any of the following block length systems.

• A value pulled out of the air. (Probably the most common system.)
• A value based on the apparent mental age of the user expressed in days. (Based on inappropriate activity on the site we anticipate the average block length under this system to be about 10 days.)
• A value based on incremental prime numbers, expressed as seconds, minutes, days, months, years, centuries or millennia. (We no more expect to actually use this than RationalWiki expects to actually use the Fibonacci sequence, but it is included in order to mirror the RW system in some way, and to show that we can be mathematically pretentious as well.)

Help. I've been blocked.

If you feel you have been blocked unjustly please follow this question and answer process: (Some liberties may have been taken with the meanings of "question" and "answer".)

• Question 1 : Help. I've been blocked. What should I do?
• Answer 1 : Click this link
• Question 2 : Thank you. I mean what should I do if I wish to become unblocked?
• Answer 2 : What do you intend to post on RationalWikiWiki?
• Question 3 : I intend to edit my own article page, get involved in edit warring and randomly delete articles.
• Answer 3 : Please see answer 1.
• Question 4 : Oh all right. I intend to write mildly insulting articles about what goes on at RationalWiki and the personalities there.
• Answer 4 : In that case get a sock and write something on an active sysop's talk page.
• Question 5 : I'm too stupid to figure out how to make a sock. What should I do? (And please don't refer me to Answer 1)
• Answer 5 : We make the jokes, OK?. Anyway, the solution is to make a note on RationalWikiWiki's talk page on RationalWiki.
