User blog:Rogue maltron/so you have been banned

so like most wiki editors you have probably seen another user being banned by an admin,FANDOM staff,Content mod(where applicable),VSTF and discussions mod (where applicable) and probably you yourself you have ever experienced a ban of some kind for some time for some users even permanently, being banned can be frustrating and can lead to unnecessary drama between users. when a user is banned certain permissions are removed from their user rights depending on what the banning authority (Admin,contend mod,discussions mod ,FANDOM staff ,VSTF etc) sees fit

chat ban
A chat ban is a ban where a users right to enter a specific wikis chat room (live chat) is removed for some time as the banning authority sees fit.In community central most chat bans are done by the chat moderators but can also be done by other authority.

Block
A block is one of the harshest bans the FANDOM authority can give you,when a block is given users are unable to use their message walls,edit on the wiki or enter its chat room they can simply view the wiki

IP ban
As the name suggests this is a ban that affects a users IP address and stops them from using all  their accounts it is usually done in hand with a block to prevent:


 * users from creating new accounts


 * To prevent sockpupeting

This is the only ban that does not have a permanent format

EMAIL BAN
This is among the less harsher bans and is not known by majority of the Fandom community ,this just prevents specific users from messaging FANDOM through their emails hence meaning that they cant use special contact

N.B:Other permissions can simply be removed separately as seen fit by the banning authority as seen fit

Global block
This a block that removes a users permissions from every wiki in FANDOM and can only be done by global FANDOM groups e.g FANDOM staff and VSTF just to name a few

How to avoid bans
Avoiding bans is simple, obey all FANDOM'S guide lines that means no: just to name a few
 * Spam
 * profanity
 * vandalism
 * inappropriate content
 * Rude mastheads
 * sock pupetting

I was banned
when you have been banned you could contact FANDOM staff if you wish for your ban to be shortened,if you wish to find out why you were banned and when your ban ends visit your contributions page and you will be able to see a template that indicates why you were banned, do not create unnecessary drama by flaming who banned you that could warrant a further harsher ban.
