Allow me to add my congratulations. You have been given great power, and I'm sure you will use it wisely.
"Edit" simply means that you can edit pages at any time of the day or night. CP is put into "night mode" overnight to prevent mass vandalism when the admins and assistants are sleeping. Presumably someone is watching the place during the day, though I have been involved in trying to stop vandalism sprees during they day, which is very hard for someone who does not have block powers. Just when "night mode" goes into effect seems to be random; I have edited well after midnight in the Eastern time zone.
"Block" means that you are an "assistant", commonly called a "sysop". See [[Conservapedia:Guidelines]]. You have the technical power to block users any time you want, and for any reason, though you are only supposed to use that power for "blatant vandalism and harassment requiring an immediate response". Blocking privileges presumably means that you have a "block this user" button somewhere when looking at a user page. I assume that you have been briefed on the mechanism, including details about whether or not to block the IP address from which the vandal came.
Some assistants block users over content disagreements; they are not permitted to do that. Sometimes those content disagreements venture into topics that the assistant has no expertise in, and seem motivated by a desire to curry favor with the site owner. Why someone would derive pleasure from abusing people on an open wiki is beyond me; perhaps it is the only area in their lives where they seem to be able to get respect.
I'm sure you will use your block powers wisely. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 12:32, 22 February 2016 (EST)
