==Identifying Personal Attacks==
A [[GWG:NPA|personal attack]] is any attack on a user's character, and is not constructive criticism or in anyway positive to an article's edit...
===Personal Attack Blocking===
Note: This should be used as a guideline and handled on a case-by-case basis.
*First Offense
**Weak attack, possibly unintentional: Firm warning, reminder of the policy.
**Strong, intentional attack: Very firm warning, reminder of the policy and its procedure.
*Repeated attacks - A ban duration of one day, more as a cool-off period.
**User has a running record of attacks - Ban duration of three days, depending on severity.
***User uses sockpuppet(s)<sup>1</sup> or proxies to continue attacks - Ban of three days for IP attacks; permaban<sup>2</sup> for accounts created for attacks. Additional ban time added to the main account of the offender.
<sup>1</sup><small> A sockpuppet is a dummy account created for the sole purpose of chatter for continued personal attacks or the illusion of greater majority.</small><br>
<sup>2</sup><small> A permaban is the permanent banning of an account and the prevention of new account creation.</small>
==Identifying Vandals==
A vandal is a user who, with the intention of disruption, makes an retrogressive edit to an article. Note: some users may not be intentionally making bad edits to an article and may need help. Remember to [[GWG:AGF|assume good faith]].
===Vandal Blocking===
Note: This should be used as a guideline and handled on a case-by-case basis.
*First Offense: User is notified, and asked to stop and perhaps ask for help. Accounts created solely for vandalism should be permabanned.
*Repeat Offense: User is notified, and possibly banned for a day depending on the severity of the action.
*Bots
**IP Bots: IPs are banned for three days.
**Account Bots: Accounts are permabanned.
