:{{u|Dmehus}}, Thanks! I will maybe work on an abuse filter. Also, I have a permission request for bureaucrat. I hope you can consider it. Thanks! --[[User:TFFfan|TFFfan]] ([[User talk:TFFfan|talk]]) 01:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
::{{ping|TFFfan}} That sounds good. When you're finished the abuse filter, maybe run it by a [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consul]], like RhinosF1, so they can check it and make sure there's no false positives or anything like that. I have added [[TestWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]] to your user profile. When you get a chance, maybe remove or reduce the creation protection on those two titles please. Thanks.

== Test blocks ==
Hi again TFFfan,
I have hidden the edit summary for your test block of BrodieVail88 in which you wrote "spamming external links" out of respect for BrodieVail88, who has yet to contribute to this wiki by editing or log actions. I haven't checked the abuse filter logs, but I suspect what you ''may'' have seen is that the user triggered an abuse filter. Please be very careful when blocking editors for triggering an abuse filter. Generally, editors who trigger an abuse filter do '''not''' need to be blocked; if it's severe enough, there's even a system user, [[User:Abuse filter]], which will progressively warn and block users as required. So, in nearly every case, an editor does not need to be blocked.
Although our [[TestWiki:Policies|policies]] ''do'' say you can test blocks on other users, generally speaking, I just don't. If I need to test a block, I just test on [[User:Example]], as it is a globally locked account that can still be blocked and unblocked at will. You can also create alternate accounts for testing blocking functionality, but it's highly recommended it that you disclose any alternate accounts you create on your user page.
Hope that helps,
<br />[[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 01:46, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
