/* Blocking duration */
Our current policy is to limit blocks to 6 months after other measures have been taken for abuse. Sure, sometimes a block exceeding 6 months is warranted, however you should consult an Admin. Page lock and other methods can be employed. Even cases of non-profane vandalism do not always require the maximum 6 month block without warning. Warnings can and should be issued. In the recent case where you alleged a sockpuppet repeat offender, and issued a one year block, assuming you had good cause, the block should be limited to 6 months. Thank you for your attention to this matter. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Let's Go Brandon!]]</sup> 17:51, January 1, 2022 (EST)
:The account that I allege as a sock puppet was because there were at least two other accounts that made the same vandalism on the Donald Trump page. "Jackmccoy" was doing the same vandalism as "Bashir" and "Sisko." Also, the other two accounts are both named after Star Trek DS9 characters.

::Well, we don't know if it is the same individual, the same IP, or a team. Provided the vandalism is not profaneor parody, the page can be locked without having to block the user account and instructions or warnings can be given to an abusive user.
