One of the big things the ROBLOX Wikia tries to do is to assume good faith with all editors. We believe that the edits made are genuinely trying to help the wikia. Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone learns at their own pace. We give good-faith editors many opportunities to correct their actions before we implement any blocks. It's when they repeatedly violate a policy after multiple warnings about it would we block them.

When someone vandalizes or spams, we assume that they're acting in bad faith. The edits they're making are intended to hurt the wiki. When someone is acting in bad faith, no amount of admin action will cause them to change their behavior. We want to prevent bad faith editors from contributing to the wiki. Otherwise, we would be spending a lot of our time undoing hurtful edits and less time improving the wiki. As a result, we have a guideline in place that suggests that all bad-faith editors (like vandals) are given a 1-month block. We don't infinitly block them, so they have a chance to correct their behavior. It's when they return from that block and vandalize again do we assume they're acting in bad faith and block them significantly longer.

This community central page is pretty good at explaining how to assume good faith.
