Spanish - How to respond to harassment

Spanish Wikipedia has a good number of policies for local governance. It has policies against making any personal attacks on fellow editors and policies on protecting new users. It has a combination of policies directly adopted from English Wikipedia and original Spanish Wikipedia policies. Compared to many other similar sized Wikipedia’s, Spanish Wikipedia has a fairly developed set of policies. The community doesn’t have bylaws about harassment, but Spanish Wikipedia uses its Village Pump to tell other users about harassment incidents. When a user writes something about harassment, administrators react depending on the severity of the matter. For example, there are users banned forever because their harassment was very rude over other users. There are some general “rules” written frequently in Villagepump: no personal attacks, be friendly, don’t bite the newbies and others like that.
