#*'''Block user from sending e-mail''' prevents the user from sending email – '''this should be left {{red|un-ticked}} unless the blocked user abuses the email function'''.
#*'''Prevent this user from editing their own talk page while blocked''' self-explanatory – '''this should be left {{red|unticked}} unless the blocked user disruptively edits their talk page or posts unblock abuse'''.
#*'''[[WP:Autoblock|Autoblock]] any IP addresses used''' blocks all IP addresses the editor may use in the future whilst blocked. Autoblocks last for 24 hours, except in the case of dynamic IP pools such as those used by residential ISPs – '''this typically should be left {{red|ticked}}'''.
#*'''Watch this user's user and talk pages''' adds the blocked user's page to your [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]] – '''you may wish to tick this checkbox to be informed if the user adds an unblock rationale on their talk page'''.
#Now click '''Block'''.
