The block is one of the central tools available to administrators and those with advanced permissions. It prevents a registered user account from editing and an unregistered user from editing from a specific IP address. Blocking policies are project-specific. More information on performing blocks, and when they're appropriate, should be available in local policy. Block summaries should be neutral and avoid expressing frustration or retaliation against the person blocked as this may encourage them to continue.
