Vampire Knight Wiki:Blocking Policy

How to Block a User
An administrator must go to Special:Block and type in the name of the user they wish to block. Then, they must choose how long they want to ban the user as well as state a valid reason. Afterwards, they must choose which options to add when blocking the user. Some options include preventing the said user from editing even their talk pages, preventing the user from sending email, ect. Then you click the button that says "block this user" and thus, they are banned from editing.

Chat Bans
Chat banning works slightly different than when blocking a user. Instead of preventing the user from editing articles on the wiki, they are only restricted of the opportunity to use the wiki's chat and socialize with users in it. A user can be banned while on chat or when out of chat.

Users with Chat Moderator, Administrator, or Bureaucrat rights are capable of doing the following:
 * Kicking a user from chat.
 * Outright banning a user from chat.
