Moviepedia:Blocking policy

Blocking is a feature of the MediaWiki software that can be used by Administrators to block users from editing Moviepedia. Blocks may be applied to user accounts, IP addresses, and ranges of IP addresses for either a definite or an indefinite time. Blocked users can continue to access Moviepedia, but cannot edit any page (including their user pages), except (in most cases) their user talk pages.

Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Moviepedia, not to punish users. Any user may report disruption and ask administrators to consider blocking a disruptive account or IP address. To do this please post a message at the Administrator Noticeboard.

Block Reasons
The following are common reasons why a user may be blocked.


 * Persistent vandalism
 * Persistent personal attacks
 * Harassment
 * Sockpuppetry

Vandalism Only Accounts
Accounts may sometimes be blocked because they appear to only be around to vandalize Moviepedia. If you feel these blocks are incorrect, then you will need to appeal them.

Appealing Blocks
If you feel that a block made on you is incorrect, then you will need to appeal your block. If you want to do this place  on your talk page. Your request must demonstrate you know why you were blocked and that you will not do it again. An administrator will determine whether or not to unblock you. Using an alternative accounts to bypass bans (even if you use it to appeal 6yyour block or legitimately editing articles) will get your block even longer and unlikely to be shortened.
