For other uses, see Block (disambiguation).On the Internet, a block is a technical measure intended to restrict access to information or resources. Blocking may be implemented by the owners of computers using software. Some countries such as China and Singapore block access to certain news information. In the United States, the Children's Internet Protection Act requires schools receiving federal funded discount rates for Internet access must install software which blocks obscene content, child pornography, and, where applicable, content “harmful to minors”.
Blocking may also refer to denying access to a web server based on the IP address of the client machine.
Effects of blocks
Blocked users may be completely unable to access all or part of a site's content, which is usually the case when censoring and/or filtering mechanisms are responsible for the block.
Unfair ban
Someone who is unfairly banned from a site is a person who didn't do anything or wasn't banned for their last offense. They have improved themselves but got banned anyway. Example, if you were Ruckus Jorgee, Rakatu, MichaelXD, or Cycling Road at serebiiforums.com you were unfairly banned. Someone who mentioned their sibling's friend at pe2k but was banned anyway is also unfairly banned. The user who flooded at Rangernet by mistake was also unfairly banned as well as going on the serebii chat on February 28, 2010 for not understanding the op's ban message from earlier.
