Any posts, talk page threads, or other submitted content containing or linking to forbidden content are subject to partial or complete deletion and the user who posted or submitted such content is subject to receiving a ban. The duration of such a ban may range from several hours to a permanent ban, depending on the severity of the violation, the number of repeat offenses, and at the moderator's discretion. However, any ban having a duration longer than one month must be subject to a vote by at least three moderators/admins, or half of the moderators/admins currently-active on Wiki Law School, whichever is less. The ban will be enforced if the vote passes by a majority of those voting.
