Hi everyone. On the blocking info page, it states that -

Common block protocol

 * Admins are advised to give a warning to people before banning them.
 * Most blocks should be for short periods, especially if IP-based.

My IP address was blocked for six months without warning by an admin. My younger son entered the word 'poop' twice in a Doctor Who wikia article. Yes, I know it was stupid. Yes, he has been punished. No, it will not happen again.

However, I think a six month ban is extreme. And we were not warned before the ban was put into place. And there have been no prior issues.

I have posted a message to the admin who banned us - I posted a message to their user page - but I have no idea if they will read or respond. Is there another option to have the block lifted?

My older son would like to create his own account and cannot do so because the admin blocked our entire IP address.

Thanks for your help.
