How do supervisors ban members of WikiAnswers?
When a user is violating the WikiAnswers terms of use a supervisor may block them using the "Block Vandal" feature. The supervisor enters the username or IP address they would like to block, the duration of the block and the reason for the block before submitting. When possible, the supervisor should first post a message on the user's personal message board educating them about the policy they are violating. If the behavior continues after that, then a block should be pursued.
How do you flag someone on WikiAnswers?

How do you block a user on WikiAnswers who continues to leave silly messages on your message board?
You must be a Supervisor in order to block a user. Here is how to solve your dilemma: First, ask the user to stop writing silly messages on your message board. If he/she continues the act, contact a Supervisor. The Supervisor will then step in, and if you message the Supervisor about being sent even more silly messages after the Supervisor has stepped in, the Supervisor can issue a block.
Who are the regular contributors on WikiAnswers?
A regular contributor is someone who does not have Supervisor status, or CA status.

What can you do about someone who is vandalizing the site but is not a member?
Report it to a supervisor. A supervisor can block those at that IP address from contributing anonymously.
