The rules in the wiki I'm involved in is that if you break a minor rule, you get a reminder on why the rule was not okay to ignore. If it is a serious or a repeated offense, then you get a warning, and then a block if the offense continues. With me, though, when I block the user, I usually give the user at least two weeks to read the rules again and try to understand why they were blocked. The only time I use the infinite block is sockpuppetry or spamming.

The age of the staff in the wiki I'm involved in varies. We have a couple of high school students, a couple of college students (me being one of them) and a couple who are middle-aged.

We used to have a couple former admins/bureaucrats who would block for no reason at all, but we've gotten way better at how a user should be blocked.
