I blocked an unregistered user because the user made unpleasant or harrassing comments about someone else in the deleted article, [[Dave muistaine]]. I don't know if it was friendly teasing or a serious attempt to blacken someone's reputation but I feel the rule should be that when aparently inocent third parties are involved the accused should not get the benifit of any doubt. In any case this wiki isn't here for schoolkids or childish adults to call others names. It seems this is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Mustaine Dave Mustaine], I don't like his music but I'm not sure we should let people insult him here.

: Yes, this looks like a childish grade-school insult. I agree that such things should be immediately deleted, and the person who said it banned for a short time. But I have hopes that such children will soon learn that such things are unacceptable, and learn to be productive -- and so I don't want to ban them forever. On the other hand, spammers who flood a page with dozens of off-topic links -- I am tempted to ban them forever. However, I don't want to unnecessarily block innocent users who use dynamic IP addresses that were once used by a spammer. I would appreciate your thoughts on which actions should trigger a ban, and for how long, at [[WikiIndex:Blocking | : Yes, this looks like a childish grade-school insult.
