Board Thread:Administrative/@comment-122657-20121217054251

This forum is to decide how we're going to handle disagreements regarding user blocks.

To start, I'd like to vote on changing the existing (unwritten) policy. The general policy is that if an admin disagrees with another admin's blocking of a user, they should seek out the blocking admin and discuss it. If they both decide it should be reverted, the disagreeing admin will take over responsibility for policing the blocked user's edits to ensure the original reason for being blocked isn't repeated. If the original blocking admin finds evidence that the original reason has been repeated without being addressed, the block will be reinstated regardless of the disagreeing admin's feelings.

At any point during the process, either admin or the user in question can ask a bureaucrat to get involved.

Please vote below if you believe the policy should be changed by editing the first post. If yes, please include how you'd like to see it changed in the comments below.
