 == draft blocking policy proposal ==
+In summary:
+* People may be blocked from editing by an administrator to protect WikiIndex and its editors from harm.
+** This will be done with a very light hand.
+* Sysops block anything that resembles a spambot. Simple spammers will be deleted and no further effort put in to them.
+* Don't irk our gentle editors. Editors who are sufficiently annoyed will will say as much on your talk page, with a link to a WikiIndex edit that irked them.  If the behavior continues, an account may get a short block to act as a wiki vacation from WikiIndex.
+* Any person may request a block at [[Category talk:Active administrators of this wiki]]. That's also the place to discuss your view on sysops overstepping their authority regarding blocking.
 ''I'm trying to make this (1) [[Wikipedia: Wikipedia:Avoid instruction creep | extremely short]] and (2) objective and unambiguous. Feel free to *completely* change this. However, I will be grumpy if you make it more than twice as long. --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 16:17, 20 August 2009 (EDT)''
-Wikipedia has an excellent [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy]].
+: ''I made it much shorter, hopefully clearer and it is much differnt than Wikipedia. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]''
-The WikiIndex blocking policy is pretty much the same, except that -- since WikiIndex runs at a slower pace than Wikipedia -- we start with a longer "first block time".
-In summary:
-* Users may be blocked from editing by an administrator to protect WikiIndex and its editors from harm.
-* Don't insert irrelevant links to commercial advertising (spamming). (Please *do* [[Add a Wiki]] whether or not it is a corporate wiki). Sysops block anything that resembles a spambot -- 3 months on the first block.
-* Don't irk our gentle editors. Editors who are sufficiently annoyed will warn you on your talk page, with a link to a WikiIndex edit that irked them.
-* Don't irk our gentle editors again. Editors who are sufficiently annoyed will warn you -- again -- on your talk page, with a link to an irksome WikiIndex edit ''after'' the previous warning. Also, a sysop (who may be that same editor) will block you -- 3 days on the first block, roughly doubling at each additional block.
-* Any user may request a block at [[Category talk:Active administrators of this wiki]]. That's also the place (after your block has expired) to whine about particular incidents of sysops overstepping their authority and slamming down unnecessarily punitive blocks.
