Ao no Exorcist Wiki:Blocking Policy

Hello and welcome to the Ao no Exorcist Wiki. There are very few policies which apply across all of Wikia; the ones that do can be found at their Policy Category. In addition to these policies, there have been policies and guidelines that have been developed on the Ao no Exorcist Wiki to further our goal of creating an informative Ao no Exorcist database. Our policies apply to all editors. We at the Ao no Exorcist Wiki strive to create a welcoming and fun environment for those who are civil and assume good faith in others, seek consensus in discussions, and work towards the goal of creating an increasingly comprehensive database about everything in the Ao no Exorcist Universe. Policies need to be approached with common sense; adhere to the spirit rather than the lettering of the rules, and be prepared to break the rules on the rare occasion when they conflict with the goal of improving the wiki. General Rules General Rules Do not vandalize current articles. Continued vandalism will result in a block. No offensive articles with sexual/vulgar language or racist remarks. Do not make pointless articles. If you see one, put the Request for Deletion tag on. Please respect neutrality. Do not edit a closed discussion. Ways to stay neutral Do not only provide one point of view, but all relevant viewpoints as necessary. Support your article with actual facts. Use a reliable source.

Blocking is the method by which Administrators may technically prevent users from editing the Ao no Exorcist Wiki. Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption, not to punish users. Blocks are sometimes used as a deterrent to discourage whatever behavior led to the block and encourage a productive editing environment.

Any user may request a block on one of our Administrators' Message Walls in cases of extremely blatant vandalism or disruption. Users requesting blocks should supply credible evidence of the circumstances warranting a block. Administrators are never obliged to place a block and are free to investigate the situation themselves. Because blocks may be reviewed and appealed, it is often important that the blocking and reviewing Administrators each communicate with and take care to inform the others.

Blocked users can appeal their blocks by making a statement on their Message Wall. Except in cases of unambiguous error, Administrators should not undo other Administrators' blocks without prior discussion (see below).

Reasons for Blocking[]

Accounts and addresses may be blocked for:

• Persistent personal attacks.
• Persistent vandalism (though obvious, blatant vandalism warrants an immediate block, such as removing page content for no reason or removing references for no reason).
• Persistent gross incivility.
• Persistent harassment.
• Persistent spamming.
• Edits warring or reverts warring.
• Breaching the Multiple Users policy.
• Persistently violating other policies or guidelines.
• Accounts with inappropriate usernames.
