==RE: Unfair Block==
Hello.
To be fair, this wiki ''does'' have a system in place that allows users to appeal blocks. Our blocking policy page has a section titled "[[The_Sims_Wiki:Blocking#Unblocking|Unblocking]]" which details how this process is handled. In general, if this can be done, this appeal process should be followed first. Unfortunately, when I drafted this system, I tried to make it policy that the blocking administrator should not be allowed to review unblock requests for blocks they have made, but the community rejected that. However, it could potentially give other admins the opportunity to look at the block as well. Also, all blocks are listed at [[Special:Log/block]], so technically I ''was'' aware of the block, but didn't know enough details about it (And I was busy at the time anyway). In fact, all on-wiki processes are made in plain sight of everyone, so any action an admin takes is visible and reversible by another admin already.
In practice, you ''may'' leave a message on the blocking admin's message wall at Community Central wiki to ask about a block, as described [[w:User_blog:Sannse/How_to_Get_Unblocked|here]]. However, if the blocking admin rejects it, I would suggest instead looking for a second opinion; you may try to contact another admin privately. However, try not to be disruptive about doing so; our [[User:K6ka/Guide to appealing blocks|guide to appealing blocks]] has more on that.
In short, I do not know enough about the reasoning behind the block in order to make a definite judgement; I was not in our Wikia chatroom or the Community Central chat to know what happened exactly. However, I would say that, if the behavior was limited to chat, I would say a block is much too harsh and a ban from chat would've been more appropriate instead. That being said, reviving an old discussion generally isn't appreciated, and if someone reverts your edit it is better to discuss it with them rather than have a revert war.
