'''Discretionary sanctions''' seek to maintain an acceptable collaborative editing environment for even our most contentious articles, by allow administrators to impose restrictions on editors that severely or persistently disrupt that environment. Sanctions may only be used in authorised areas of conflict and include blocks and topic bans. |

Certain pages (typically, AE, AN, and ARCA) are used for the fair, well-informed, and timely resolution of discretionary sanction enforcement cases. Editors participating in enforcement cases must disclose fully their involvement (if any). While good-faith statements are welcome, editors are expected to discuss only evidence and procedure; they are not expected to trade insults or engage in character assassination. [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|Insults and personal attacks]], [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion|soapboxing]] and [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks#Avoiding personal attacks|casting aspersions]] are as unacceptable in enforcement discussions as elsewhere on Wikipedia. Uninvolved administrators are asked to ensure that enforcement cases are not disrupted; and may remove statements, or restrict or block editors, as necessary to address inappropriate conduct. |

Enforcing administrators are [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Accountability|accountable]] and must explain their enforcement actions; and they must not be [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Involved admins|involved]]. Prior routine enforcement interactions, prior administrator participation in enforcement discussions, or when an otherwise uninvolved administrator refers a matter to AE to elicit the opinion of other administrators or refers a matter to the committee at ARCA, do not constitute or create involvement. |

Uninvolved administrators are authorised to place reasonable measures that they believe to be necessary and [[#Proportionality|proportionate]] for the smooth running of the project, including: |
|||
*revert restrictions (such as [[WP:1RR|1RR]] and 0RR) |
|||
*move restrictions |
|||
*[[WP:IBAN|interaction bans]] |
|||
*[[WP:TBAN|topic bans]] |
|||
*blocks of up to one year in duration. |
|||
Prior to placing sanctions that are likely to be controversial, administrators are advised to elicit the opinions of other administrators at AE. For the avoidance of doubt, enforcing administrators are not authorised to issue site bans; to require the removal of user rights that cannot be granted by an administrator or to restrict their usage; nor to enforce discretionary sanction [[#Broadly construed|beyond their reasonable scope]]. |

The enforcing administrator must provide a notice on the sanctioned editor’s talk page specifying the misconduct for which the sanction has been issued as well as the appeal process. The enforcing administrator must also [[#Logging|log]] the sanction. |
