If a user has made a mix of good and bad contributions, then instead of blocking him immediately, a warning should be issued. Warnings are only binding if issued by a sysop. If the user disagrees with the warning, then he can (1) ask that sysop, and/or another sysop(s), to retract the warning and allow him to continue the behavior that he considers acceptable; and/or (2) take his case to the [[WikiIndex:Community portal]] and ask the community to overturn the warning. A decision of the community overrides any decision reached by sysop(s). | If a user has made a mix of good and bad contributions, then instead of blocking him immediately, a warning should be issued.
