:2. I have plenty of time on my hands right now, so handling both wikis will be fine (plus the inactivity on WikiBound makes it a bit easier as well) so don't worry about me being overworked. I'm more than willing to handle both places. | :2.

:3. For block lengths it depends on the severity of the offense. Usually if it's the first block of a good faith user it can range from a few days (for minor ones like edit warring) to a month (such as personally attacking a user), however more severe offenses such as constantly inserting false information or blatant non-stop breaking of NPA even after warnings will recieve longer blocks like a month or more, and users who have previously been blocked yet still behave in the same way can recieve a block for several months. Users who I deem as a lost cause are users who have recieved blocks before yet still don't learn from their mistakes and continue to behave in the same way, these are users who will recieve infinites. Also there's the Toomai clause. Obvious vandal accounts can be up to a week or infinite depending on the severity, though if they return doing the same thing after the first block it will be infinite. Long IP blocks are generally discouraged, so an infinite block to an IP address is very situational: Constantly vandalizing or repeatedly acting in bad faith non-stop after the IP has been blocked numerous times before is the only time an infinite will be issued. | :3.

:4. The NPA was something that was ''close'' to it but not fully a personal attack (hence almost). Specifically an IP was constantly trying to convince us to mention that DK "dabs" in MK8, and I said something like "We don't care about those useless memes so stop harassing us and actually be useful for once".

I do want to comment because I think you may have the wrong idea of what the Toomai clause is to be used for. To put it in his words ''It's not really supposed to be used like a known and publicized last resort. It's supposed to be a very exceptional idea for very exceptional cases.'' Basically it's not supposed to be used as an excuse to block someone who doesn't otherwise deserve it. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px 3px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 06:27, June 16, 2020 (EDT) | I do want to comment because I think you may have the wrong idea of what the Toomai clause is to be used for.

:What I understand is it is not intended as an excuse to block someone, it's if there's what appears to be a good faith user, however they also have a history of making many mistakes and for some reason never seem to learn from them. They come close to reaching unacceptable behavior but never actually cross it. Something like this is tricky to determine whether a user is exactly inside this category, it's not something I will use without also discussing with other users/admins alike. Also quoting is ''They may not have done anything "wrong", however they have done enough that is "not right"''. I'll always look through the user's history to decide if they are actually deserving of this, or if they have potential to redeem themselves. It's ''only'' something I would consider if I notice that a user has caused enough trouble to the point that their problems greatly outweigh the good that they've done. If you have any more questions I'll be willing to answer them.
