== Blocking rights ==

To counter blatant vandalism, some editors have the ability to block vandals. These particular rights may be granted to users who demonstrate an ongoing ability to revert vandalism. Users are also encouraged to report suspected vandals to the administration (preferably supplying evidence with [[Conservapedia:Diffs|diffs]]).  Editors granted blocking rights should only use them for blocking vandals or other cases where immediate blocking is required.  Other violations should be referred to an administrator.<ref>This restriction of only blocking vandals applies only to editors granted blocking rights after this amendment was posted in December 2007.</ref>
