Common Questions
I want to appeal a ban or mute on Hypixel's server or forums.
 * This is the wrong place to appeal a ban or mute from Hypixel. Instead, go to https://hypixel.net/appeal. The Hypixel SkyBlock Wiki is not affiliated with Hypixel, so admins on this wiki cannot remove any mutes or bans on Hypixel's servers or forums.

Can I create a new account?
 * No. Do not to create new accounts if you are blocked. This is called Sockpuppetry, and it is a severe policy violation.

I didn't break any rules, so why am I blocked?
 * There are a few reasons why you may be blocked without doing anything wrong. In these cases, the problem can usually be resolved very quickly with an appeal.

What is a block?
 * A block is a technical measure that prevents a User account or IP address from editing. This is done to prevent the User or IP from damaging the Wiki further.

Abuse Filter False Positive

 * The Abuse Filter automatically checks every edit, and it has the power to block users that make disruptive edits. However, it sometimes has false positives. If you were blocked by the Abuse Filter and were editing in good faith, you can appeal your block. An administrator will review your edit, and if they agree that you weren't being disruptive, they will unblock you. Administrators can also publish any filtered changes at their discretion.

Unfair Block

 * If a block was not made in response to a blockable offense, meaning it was not made in accordance with the Blocking Policy, you may appeal the block. If the administrator reviewing your appeal agrees that you shouldn't have been blocked, they will unblock you.

Autoblock

 * Autoblocks are blocks applied to IP addresses that blocked editors have used. Any users, even when logged in, are not able to edit from these IP addresses. If you are inadvertently caught in an autoblock, simply explain this to the reviewing admin. They will review your contributions and remove the autoblock.

Second Chance

 * If you understand why you were blocked and you will not do it again, you can appeal, and an administrator might remove your block. However, if you are disruptive again, you will receive a new block with a longer duration.
