Where do you write to be unblocked from WikiAnswers?
You can contact WikiAnswers at e-mail Unblock @ Answers.com (remove spaces). A Community Assistant then will check the reason you were blocked, and then they will decide if they will unblock you.Please note: The reason why users are blocked are because of violations of the Terms of Use. If you did not read the TOU and your actions were done unknowingly, a Community Assistant will see that and most likely give you another chance.However, if a Supervisor warned you of your doings and you ignored them, you will most likely stay blocked. Worse of all, insulting a Supervisor who is trying to help you does not put the odds in your favor. If you insult a Supervisor after they issue a warning, you will be blocked. And the chances of you being unblocked are pretty slim.
