Riordan Wiki:Warning Policy

The Warning Policy sets the guidelines for when to use warnings, how to warn, and the consequences for not heeding the warnings.

General Information

 * Warnings should always be used before a block. If there is someone who is extremely misbehaving, then an administrator can block the user without warning.
 * Warnings must have a legitimate cause, and should be backed up by one of the wiki's policies.
 * Warnings cannot be removed from Talk pages, and can only be moved when a Talk page is archived.

When to Warn Somebody
If somebody is breaking a policy, then initially, a warning can only be given by an administrator or bureaucrat, unless it is a case of obvious vandalism.

How to Warn Somebody
Warnings must tell the user what he has done wrong, what he is supposed to do, and not to repeat what he has been doing wrong. Rude language cannot be used.

If a Warning is Ignored
If a warning is removed by the user in question, the user will be blocked for a month. In addition, all users should receive three warnings before being blocked.
