Blocking
I know we've just rid ourselves of Penalties for abuse but 1 week for making a pointless page? Harsh man harsh! --Xasxas256 07:15, 8 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I usually do 1-3 days for vandalism of existing and 1 week for creating vandalism pages, too much? &mdash; Skuld 07:16, 8 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I reckon, I mean it was just one off gibberish, I mean if it was racist or done multiple times after being warned that's different. Well you're the admin but yeah I do reckon possibly a bit harsh. --Xasxas256 07:18, 8 August 2006 (CDT)


 * I'm not an admin, but yes, I think so. Remember that many of such edits may just be new/young/stupid users trying stuff out. Give them the benefit of the doubt and only hammer hard on the real vandals, imho. -- [[Image:Bishop_icon2.png]] Bishop [ rap|con ] 07:20, 8 August 2006 (CDT)

Ok, 3 days now &mdash; Skuld 07:22, 8 August 2006 (CDT)


 * I personally don't think that any penalty needs to be handed down on somebody who vandalises an article as a once off. --Xasxas256 07:29, 8 August 2006 (CDT)


 * It's more to ward them off doing it again and leave an entry in the block log for future reference if they do it again. If someone creates a page as their only contribution then it gets deleted, their contribution log is empty &mdash; Skuld 07:31, 8 August 2006 (CDT)


 * I agree with your sentiment, Skuld (although I'd most likely just block for 1 hour because it serves all those purposes equally well without being as harsh). -- [[Image:Bishop_icon2.png]] Bishop [ rap|con ] 07:33, 8 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Never knew it was possible to block for below one day. Default list goes 1, 3, week, 2 weeks. Knew you could set custom but though it had to be in days+ :o &mdash; Skuld 07:37, 8 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Yep I like 1 hour, also I think if it's just testing/gibberish testing type edits then we should put a note saying welcome, please don't vandalise, use the Sandbox, you've been blocked for 1 hour blah blah. 1 hour should give them a chance to read it. --Xasxas256 07:39, 8 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I'd agree. More than 1 day for anything that might just be a new user playing around (stupidly) is harsh.  1 hour is probably fine.  Any kind of commercial ads or racism, etc., go ahead and bring a gigantic hammer down.  --JoDiamonds 15:34, 8 August 2006 (CDT)


 * huh, I wonder if we have different settings. The default durations available on my screen are 2 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, infinite, or other. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:55, 8 August 2006 (CDT)
