Users who fail to obey [[FamilySearch Wiki:Policies|policy]] and who do not follow the FamilySearch Research Wiki [[FamilySearch Wiki:Conditions of Use|Conditions of Use]] will be blocked from using the Research Wiki. Disruptive users, those who deliberately fan controversy, or who maliciously attack members of the community or community standards, will be subject to blocking. Blocking may last for a short or long period of time, which length of time will be determined by consensus of the administrators. Users who have to be Banned multiple times, or whose offenses are particularly egregious will be subject to Blocking. Other community members who are not Banned should act responsibly to neither bait the Banned user nor assist them. | Users who fail to obey [[FamilySearch Wiki:Policies|policy]] and who do not follow the FamilySearch Research Wiki [[FamilySearch Wiki:Conditions of Use|Conditions of Use]] will be blocked from using the Research Wiki.
