==When blocking may not be used== Blocking to gain an advantage in a content dispute is strictly prohibited. Admins must not block Editors with whom they are currently engaged in a content dispute. If in doubt, report the problem to other Admins to act on. Very brief blocks, for instance of one second, are sometimes used for the purpose of recording warnings or other negative events in a user's block log. This practice can be seen as humiliating, and is not approved, except for making notes that are in the user's own interest. For instance, when a wrongful block has originally been placed, a one-second block can later be added by the same admin in order to record an apology, or acknowledgement of mistake. Caution should be exercised before blocking users who may be acting in good faith.
