Is it a good idea to block people when they use wikipedia to get their answers?
Wikipedia:Blocking policy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Blocking policy) This page documents an official English Wikipedia policy, a widely accepted standard that should normally be followed by all editors. Any edit to it should reflect consensus. Consider discussing potential changes on the talk page first. Shortcuts: WP:BP WP:BLOCK WP:BLOCKED This page in a nutshell: Users may be blocked from editing by an administrator to protect Wikipedia and its editors from harm. Blocking is the method by which administrators may technically prevent users from editing Wikipedia. Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, not to punish users. Blocks sometimes are used as a deterrent, to discourage whatever behavior led to the block and encourage a productive editing environment. LMAO!!! It is up to you who you block and who you do not block, personally I only block people that exibit report monkey activity!
