User blog comment:Sannse/How to Block Someone in Your Community the Right Way/@comment-9154802-20160802091233

Knowing when to block someone and how to block them properly is an issue I faced when I first started wikia. I made one page as a noob, and without proper help or explanation, I was given 10 days to fix the page and raise it to standard. and 5 days later I got blocked a year. These issues seem most prominent on Fanon wikis, where all the admins tend to be EXTREMELY strict and never want to talk about anything. There seems to always be this elitism among Fanon admins that makes them think they are better than everyone and that you must meet their standards in 3 days or be blocked indefintiely. Sadly these wikis died due to these actions, with only ONE fanon wiki I know of, that I am now admin of, actually blocking properly, despite the incompentence of my fellow admins. (Mostly their incompetence in dealing with change and keeling over the moment a single user makes a BS complaint.)

I also believe Admins should always retain the highest authority, but never oppressive. The way my wiki works is that we have a council of 3 admins, including myself. Together we take user requests and input and go over them in lengthy discussion. This is how we reach decisions and stuff. The only issue is my wiki has only contained the same 15 or so members for 4 years with only like one or two new users within that time, so decisions are often very easily made and just.....we never get anything new to the table.
