User blog comment:Sannse/How to Block Someone in Your Community the Right Way/@comment-1251315-20160801155433/@comment-24258073-20160801215258

I know right. There was this administrator who blocked me unfairly just because of a misunderstanding between an edit war with me and another user, each of us mistakenly believed the other was editing in bad faith. The second time I tried to explain, but they still blocked me. It even said in the policies not to block someone without warning them first. I had to contact a bureaucrat when it happened the second time, and to my best of luck, the bureaucrat unblocked me. The administrator tried blocking me again, but I informed the bureaucrat that they'd tried blocking me again, and the bureaucrat unblocked me again, and the rest is history.
