Blocked Admins
What if an admin is blocked? TimandEricman (talk) 18:58, March 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Depends. If it's a local block, (s)he can just unblock the account. If it's a global block - by VSTF or Staff - that's not possible. -- Tupka 217 19:14, March 7, 2015 (UTC)

FOR EVER?

It seems a bit exaggerated the deactivation of a user account "forever" in a wiki says it should be for a short time on this pageFurby 01:30, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

The Dick Figures Fanon Wikia is in a bit of a silly situation, and I need a lot of help on this one!

There's these stupid users that have been making fun of real life people and posting mean and stupid things! Here's the pages, and the users responsible for it:

 * Contact the local admins to deal with them.

Got Blocked Unfairly
I got blocked unfairly in http://gaming.wikia.com! The administrator thought I was spamming links to external sites, I wasn't! Please help! Arthur1124 (talk) 04:45, August 20, 2015 (UTC)

A reason to block?
I started drawing own characters for this girl for her pages and she has gotten me to draw 22 OCs for her. She never showed any gratefulness, she kept pushing me and saying she wants them done by the next day (I wasn't charging her for them). I eventually ignored all her repetitive spam requests after giving her a huge paragraph on why I wouldn't draw for her any longer. She still messages me frequently now, asking for me to draw characters "for other users" (probably just for her own pleasure) and even writing stories about them. Is this a reason to block her for a while? LexsJB Talk 17:52, October 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * A good admin would block after warning the user in question - which you have done. It's really up to you - admins can block users for anything, but it should be rational and used if the user is no longer acting in good faith. Ozank Cx (talk) 17:57, October 10, 2016 (UTC)

I blocked her last night but she's created a new account (which I'm definite is her) and carrying on with it. Should I block her even though it's on a new account? LexsJB Talk 18:28, October 11, 2016 (UTC)


 * I think we'd call new accounts "sockpuppets" that tries to dodge a block. Yes, I think you should block it because that's what a lot of wiki admins do. Ryu  and  Ken  and  Akuma  20:18, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

Her block expired a few weeks ago and now she keeps spamming messages of thanks (and I know it's because she wants me to keep drawing for her) and just wont stop. Is this also a reason to block or am I just getting to desperate to block her? LexsJB Talk 16:30, November 8, 2016 (UTC)
