=="Protect WikiIndex and its editors from harm"==
Regarding block policy proprosal, "[u]sers may be blocked from editing by an administrator to protect WikiIndex and its editors from harm", DavidCary has elaborated that, "It was intended to be a quick summary of the line between 'the seven actions which are blockable offenses' vs. 'actions which, while rude and annoying, are not quite bad enough to be blockable'." [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 03:05, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
:Please tell me if the above paragraph is inaccurate or misleading in any way. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 03:05, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
:I don't understand that. Is the intended meaning of, "[u]sers may be blocked from editing by an administrator to protect WikiIndex and its editors from harm", '''completely''' expressed in the following rules:
:A user may be blocked when necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of [WikiIndex], its users or the public. A block for protection may be necessary in response to:
:* persistently making [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|personal attacks]];
:* making personal, professional or [[Wikipedia:No legal threats|legal]] threats (including outside the Wikipedia site);
:* performing actions that place users in danger;
:* disclosing [[Wikipedia:Harassment#Posting of personal information|personal information]] (whether or not the information is accurate);
:* persistently [[Wikipedia:Copyright violations|violating copyrights]];
:* persistently posting unreferenced or potentially defamatory information about [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|living persons]];
:* accounts that appear to have been compromised, as an emergency measure.

:Secondly, when you say, "actions which, while rude and annoying, are not quite bad enough to be blockable", are you referring to the section of the Wikipedia policy page, entitled: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_policy#Disruption Disruption]? [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 03:39, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
::If so, there is a subsection there entitled, "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_policy#Disruption-only Disruption-only]", in reference to these the policy states a that, "Furthermore, some types of user accounts are considered disruptive and may be blocked without warning, usually indefinitely:" I assume you are proposing to enforce this policy, however.
