Re: [Wikivoyage-l] User bans

Our policy pages have never been updated to make a distinction between bans and blocks; they should be considered synonymous for policy purposes, at least for the time being. (It's never been a problem before because we never block anyone except to enforce a ban.) I quote from https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:How_to_handle_unwanted_edits#User_ ban: "Bans made without a vote and without an understanding of the gravity of this action (and not covered by one of the exceptions listed below) are considered abuse by the administrator. '''In other words, a user ban is a really, really big deal.'''" At this point, you should either rescind the block or else put it up on the ban nominations page for consideration by the community.
