'''Blocking''' is the method by which [[EM:Administrators|administrators]] technically prevent users from editing EndMyopia Wiki. Blocks may be applied to user accounts, to IP addresses, and to ranges of IP addresses, for either a definite or an indefinite time. Blocked users can continue to access EndMyopia Wiki, but cannot edit any page), except (in most cases) their own user talk pages.

Line 6:

If editors believe a block has been improperly issued, they can request a review of that block on their own talk page. Administrators can "unblock" a user when they feel the block is unwarranted or no longer appropriate.

== Purpose and goals ==

Blocks serve to protect the project from harm, and reduce likely future problems. Blocks may escalate in duration if problems recur. They are meted out not as retribution but to protect the project and other users from disruption and inappropriate conduct, and to deter any future possible repetitions of inappropriate conduct. Blocking is one of the most powerful tools that are entrusted to administrators, who should be familiar with the circumstances prior to intervening and are required to be able to justify any block that they issue.
