I have a ten minute break here so I am providing additional details regarding Pranav's block for 24 hours. The main reason is for comments on the thread located at http://khanacademy.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:45846. The comments can be viewed in the history, including those that violated wiki policies and have been removed from regular view.

1) He admitted that he was trying to get TJ to admit to personal information that we do not talk about on our wiki according to our policies. This is "solicitation of personal information" and is against Wikia TOU.

2) He set up a second account for the purpose of being deceptive, i.e., made a sockpuppet account.

2) In the past he has knowingly gone against wiki policies and used comments such as "I might be banned for this, but..." If a policy is not agreed with, it should be discussed, not willingly disobeyed.

3) He has made references to age in the past and been warned, and on this thread he did this again, which is expressly against the policies of the wiki.

4) The comments made are harrassing against TJ, and victimization and harrassment are never allowed by Wikia or by us. I think it is important that we do not allow bullying in any form.

5) A 24-hour cooldown period is appropriate, after which we can have a cool-headed discussion about what has happened. The block is not permanent, only for one day.

As always, I will defer to VirusKA as he has seniority and more experience on the wiki. If you think the penalty is too stiff, please feel free to lift the block. Otherwise I welcome Pranav back for a polite discussion after the 24 hours have passed.
