Block user



Use the form below to block editing access from a specific IP address or username. See also Help:Blocking as well as Help:Blocking/Subsequent IPs.



Notes:

 * Usually when I'm blocking an IP user from editing, I tick the second box, but leave the other boxes unticked, so that they have talk page access, and have the chance to request an unblock. I leave the last box unticked, so that if any registered users are using that IP address, they will be unaffected by the block.
 * Usually when I'm blocking a regular troll or vandal, I tick the second box, but leave the other boxes unticked, so that they have talk page access, and have the chance to request an unblock.
 * Usually when I'm blocking an underage user, I leave all the boxes unticked, in-case the user has any questions or concerns about why they have been blocked for being underage.
 * Usually when I'm blocking a user with an unacceptable username, I don't tick any boxes, so that the user can create another account with an appropriate username, and access their talk page in-case they want to ask about how and why their username is considered inappropriate.
 * I would formally tick the second box but to save them the trouble of having to use another wiki to ask about their block, I subsequently decided against doing this.
 * Usually when I'm blocking a sockpuppet account, I tick all the boxes, although I find it optional for me to tick the third box.
 * Usually when I'm blocking a user that has blown away all their chances, I tick all the boxes, although I find it optional for me to tick the third box.
