- How can a bad block be brought to the attention of a user with block rights?
- What is the risk of a bad block being allowed to stay for too long a period of time?
- Loss of interest by the unfairly blocked user. Good faith users are important. Many editors to our wiki might be first time wiki editors, and should they fall victim to an unfair block they may quickly be dissuaded and leave the project permanently. This should be avoided at all costs. A vandal can be reverted - but a lost editor's potential can't be recaptured.
- What is a bad block?
- Can one user with block rights undo another user with block rights's block in a respectful way that does not turn into one user vs. another?
- Yes. By being respectful in the edit summary and understanding that the block was issued for a reason.
