==Unblocking==
A user that has received a block may be allowed to request that the block be removed; these requests are handled through the blocked user's talk page. To request an unblock, the blocked user must add the following template to [[Special:MyTalk|their talk page]]:
<code><pre>{{Unblock|1 = <Reason why the user should be unblocked>}}</pre></code>
When a user adds this template to their talk page, the talk page is categorized into [[:Category:Requests for unblock]]. An administrator will review the block; this review may include evaluating the reason given by the blocked user, reviewing the blocked user's contributions and deleted contributions, checking logs of the user's on-wiki activities, and consulting with other members of the administrative team. After this has concluded, an official decision will be posted on the blocked user's talk page. Users who are unblocked may be placed on [[Project:Editing restrictions|editing restrictions]] or have other measures taken to prevent repeat behavior, as determined by the unblocking administrator. Users who have their unblock request declined are allowed to re-request. However, frequently re-requesting, abusing the system, or vandalizing the user talk page may result in the blocked user losing the privileges to edit their talk page and to request an unblock for the duration of their block.▼
The user should replace <code><Reason why the user should be unblocked></code> with their reasoning and rationale as to why the block on them should be lifted.

However, frequently re-requesting, abusing the system, or vandalizing the user talk page may result in the blocked user losing the privileges to edit their talk page and to request an unblock for the duration of their block. After said privileges are lost, the only way to discuss the block with other administrators is via The Sims Wiki's [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel|IRC channel]].
==After a block==
Once a block expires, or once a block has been removed, a user may return to actively editing the wiki. A user that is no longer blocked is free to participate in the wiki as would any normal user, unless an administrator has applied special [[The Sims Wiki:Editing restrictions|editing restrictions]]. Any warnings or block notices placed on the user's talk page may be removed by the user once the block has ended. Blocking is not intended as a punishment, and a user that is no longer blocked should be given [[The Sims Wiki:Assume good faith|the benefit of the doubt]] in edits they make to the wiki. However, a user that violates policies following the end of a block may receive a longer-duration or an indefinite block, especially if the user repeatedly violates the same rule(s) after multiple chances to fix their behavior.
