Head Soccer Wiki:Block
Why?
Blocking a user is really the last thing an admin wants to do :-( But often that's the only way to stop vandals, cursing, talking another language which isn't English, spamming for badges (doing edits on pages which are not useful), spamming in the comments (writing nonsense comments) and trolls. If you got blocked, you may always ask an admin why did he do this (don't spam him). When blocking a user, we'll always give a reason why. If you got mistakenly blocked then tell us about it. For not to receive a block please read the rules page.
Help us with Vandals
We cannot be everywhere and therefore we cannot every vandal. Therefore it's YOUR JOB to report vandals, on the Problems in the forums, or notify us in the Chat when there's an Admin online. Everybody may report. If you see vandalism do the following things:
- Revert: Undo the edit of the vandal, in most cases you will have the permission to do so. If not, notify a rollback or admin through their message walls or the forums.
- Report: Post in the vandal thread, or in the chat if you have an account.
- Notify: Notify the vandal, telling him/her that he/she did something bad.
- Check: This step is optional. Go to the contribution page of the vandal and look if he/she did vandalism at other pages. Also look if he keeps doing it.
