'''Blocking''' is the method by which [[Pensapedia:Administrators|administrators]] may technically prevent users from editing [[Pensapedia]]. Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Pensapedia, not to punish users.<ref>Blocks are not punitive in the sense that they aren't retribution. Blocks sometimes are used as a deterrent, to discourage whatever behavior led to the block and encourage a productive editing environment.</ref>
Any user may request a block at the [[Pensapedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents|administrators' noticeboard for incidents]]. Users requesting blocks should supply credible evidence of the circumstances warranting a block. Administrators are never obliged to place a block and are free to investigate the situation themselves.
If you wish to contest a block, see [[Pensapedia:Appealing a block]] for further instructions. Except in cases of unambiguous error, administrators should not undo other administrators' blocks without prior discussion; see [[#Unblocking|below]].
