If the editors in question are an admin and a normal user, the admins actions and mannerisms may be weighed against the Code of Conduct for details on how such matters are to be judged. If an admin's actions have been deemed hostile, rude, or offensive, than a [[Destinypedia:Bureaucrats|Bureaucrat]] may revoke their user rights, or ban them at the discretion of the Bureaucrat issuing the ban. For casual users, the same process applies to both editors, with the party or parties found guilty being subject to ban. | ||
