Auto-blocking of accounts
An account will be blocked automatically if all of these conditions are met:
- Its first edit is to its own userpage
- The text of the new page contains
http://somewhere - The text does not contain any newlines
A few easy ways to avoid being blocked accidentally:
- Make your first edit to the Sandbox, or find a page that needs corrections.
- Include newlines! (Most spambots don't)
If you do get blocked by mistake, see the Community portal for ways to contact an admin.
Technical notes: This site uses the AbuseFilter extension to auto-block users. The relevant filter on this wiki is filter 6.
