Requests for Comment/Creating a blocking policy for all wikis

I plan on creating a blocking policy for all wikis to follow. The reason for this will be explained in further detail after the terms of the policy are addressed, as they relate to one another. Here are the terms: The reason I am proposing this is because I have seen multiple blocks applied on multiple different wikis that do not abide by the above rules, including myself. It seems as though blocks are often being misused. Block summaries are also a major problem as most block summaries I have seen do not explain why the user was blocked. This policy should help to prevent any future misuse of blocks. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:40, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Blocks should be used only to prevent disruption. They should not be used as:
 * 2) *A method of punishment or ostracism
 * 3) *A form of revenge
 * 4) *A way of targeting a user
 * 5) *A form of harassment
 * 6) *Any other reason other than the prevention of disruption
 * 7) Blocks should not be given to users who are already globally locked, or who have retired or are otherwise inactive.
 * 8) Blocks should only be given in a violation of a specific written rule on the wiki.
 * 9) Blocks should only be applied on the wiki or wikis where the incident occurred.
 * 10) Blocks should not be applied on multiple wikis unless the user is clearly a disruption-only account or a sockpuppet.
 * 11) If the user is not a disruption only account, they should not be indefinitely blocked for a first time offense. The first time a user violates a rule, they should be given a warning. If they violate the rule a second time, they may be temporarily blocked, with the length depending on the severity of their actions. Always assume good faith.
 * 12) *Talk pages should also be left open in case the user wishes to appeal their block.
 * 13) Block summaries should explain why the user was blocked. They should not have any additional comments added to them unless it explains the block. In addition, block summaries should not be blank.
 * 14) Stewards and Global Sysops have the right to change or remove any block that violates these rules.
