==="Protect WikiIndex and its editors from harm"=== | |||
Regarding block policy proprosal, "users 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'."

: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 (or are you elaborating, or adding to, these Wikipedia policies): | |||
:A user may be blocked when necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the [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; | |||
