This is for less severe policies that new users often accidentally violate. If the user is very new, always give warnings first. In most cases, blocks should only be handed out for repeat violations. | |||
'''Violation of [[SW:TALK]]''' Block for a max of 3 days. If they continue to violate the policy after that, give a slightly longer block. | |||
'''Violation of signature policies''' Refusal to sign, or using an unacceptable signature, should at most get a 3 day block. | |||
'''Violation of [[SW:1RV]]''' While warnings should always be applied, continuing the violation in the same edit war may prompt an instant day long block. | |||
'''Disruption''' Disrupting the wiki, such as repeated trolling on forums, or bringing an offsite conflict onto the wiki, may receive up to a week long block. | |||
