 If a user fails to follow the policies and guidelines of Open Foresight Hub, official [[hub:warning_policy|warnings]] should be issued by an administrator, guiding them away from inappropriate behavior. A user who does not adhere to warnings and persists in rule-breaking behavior, or who substantially violates Open Foresight Hub's rules, may be [[hub:banning_policy|banned]]. Further violations and multiple bans of a user could result in the user being blocked.

 Please note that blocking is not the preferred way for a situation to be resolved. A user may be warned by an administrator to refrain from editing an article or a certain type of article for a period of time. Failure to comply with this request will result in a temporary ban. Bans are generally cumulative in nature and will increase in duration for repeat offenses. A user who is banned for one week due to sockpuppetry (using one or more fake accounts) may be banned for two weeks or longer on a subsequent offense. Blocks are only used when offenses continue after multiple bans.
+If a blocked user is found to create additional accounts attempting to circumvent the block, the additional accounts will be blocked as well.
