Blocking is the means by which an administrator prevents a user account or IP address/range from editing the Toronto Maple Leafs Wiki. Blocks are preventive rather than punitive measures used to prevent damage by dealing with vandalism and enforcing the Toronto Maple Leafs Wiki policies. Block duration may vary, depending on the severity and longevity of vandalism, but in most instances a block can be lifted if the editor agrees to stop the damaging behavior. All users may post block requests at the Community Portal or contact an administrator directly.
