User blog:DXi 641/DXB0005: How the HECK am I going to be unbanned if I got banned unfairly?

"WTHell? I got banned? For a reason like 'go away' !?"

Hi.

"Someone banned me for "go away"! Unban me plzzzz!"

Ok. My alt is going crazy. It's a bot.

Ban/block (sometimes I say barricade) is an action to prevent a user from committing acts which breaks the rules. As a bureaucrat, I am allowed to barricade others. Still, there are some other sysops which is too stern or even unreasonable when barricading others. It is always the best to contact me or another bureaucat if you fail to negotiate with the admin who blocked you when you are trying to be unbanned. Now I should talk to you about common reasons for an unblock or reduce of block.

Common reasons for unblock/reduce of block

 * No apparent/no reason for block (e.g. what the hell)


 * Gibberish reasons for block (e.g. Use 'vandalism' when the accurate reason is spamming)


 * Block performed to intimidate/silence/harass BlockedUser from doing something which is permitted


 * Misunderstanding


 * Emotion issues


 * Long block for small reasons


 * Blocked without right procedures


 * Block performed to start an edit war smoothly without BlockedUser fighting back


 * Doesn't appear to be an alt/sock


 * Block performed for discriminating other races or countries

Thanks.

Sincerely,
