Minor Penalty Change Decreed
This policy was decreed as policy by an admin and implemented.

As an admin who does alot of blocking of vandals, I'm making a minor change declaration to the penalties. Since their is no preset in the blocking UI for 10 years, the penalty for 20 or more acts of vandalism is going to be permanent ban, since the next highest preset is infinite (∞). --Fandyllic 5:01 PM PST 22 Mar 2006

Admins seem to be using 3 months a s a block time, but it isn't currently in the policy, so I'm making a small change that adds it. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 3:21 PM PST 10 Jan 2008

Interpretation of block time
Just a quick note to mention that the ban times noted are a guideline for admins and need not be followed to the letter - you can use your judgement to decide whether the penalties should be harsher or lighter than those mentioned. For example, a gold seller I will infinitely ban no matter the number of edits (one is enough) because it is obvious they are not here to contribute to the wiki. -- Kirkburn (talk) 20:11, 25 December 2006 (EST)
Update
Just did a small update to clarify methods of appeal and to include the above comment about block lengths being guidelines. Kirkburn talk contr 12:49, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
