It is an unfortunate truth of wikis that at some point bans must be handed out.  However, all too often these are brought up in entirely the wrong way.  Given the number of users who can use/read/edit SmashWiki, it is a rather small number who can actually ban/block other users.  This is how it should be.  This principle should also be extended to discussing potential bans/blocks.  Normal users have no reason to be discussing potential bans as, in the vast majority of cases, the evidence speaks for itself.  Erroneously threatening a user with a ban can often lead to much more of a problem than the initial possible ban reason caused. The following are ways that normal users should handle situations that could potentially involve blocks.
