UDWiki:Administration/Vandal Banning/Archive/2011 10
This page is for the reporting of vandalism within the Urban Dead wiki, as defined by vandalism policy. On this wiki, the punishment for Vandalism is temporary banning, but due to security concerns, the ability to mete out this punishment is restricted to System Operators. As such, regular users will need to lodge a report for a Vandal to be banned from the wiki. For consistency and accountability, System Operators are requested to note on this board their actions in dealing with Vandals.
Guidelines for Vandalism Reporting
In dealing with Vandalism, time is often of the essence. As such, we ask that all users include the following information in a Vandalism report:
- A link to the pages in question.
- Preferably bolded for visibility. If the Vandalism is occurring over a sufficiently large number of pages, instead include a time range of the vandalism attempt, or alternatively, a link to the first vandalised page. This allows us to quickly find the damage so we can quickly assess the situation.
- The user name of the Vandal.
- This allows us to more easily identify the culprit, and to check details.
- A signed datestamp.
- For accountability purposes, we ask that you record in your request your user name and the time you lodged the report.
- Please report at the top.
- There's conflict with where to post and a lot of the reports are missed. If it's placed at the top of the page it's probably going to be seen and dealt with.
If you see Vandalism in progress, don't wait for System Operators to deal with it, as there may be no System Operator online at the time. Lodge the report, then start reverting pages back to their original form. This can be done by going to the "History" tab at the top of the page, and finding the last edit before the Vandal's attack. When a System Operator is available, they'll assess the situation, and if the report is legitimate, we will take steps to either warn the vandal, or ban them if they are on their second warning.
If the page is long, you can add new reports by editing the top report and placing your new report above its header in the edit screen.
Before Submitting a Report
- This page, Vandal Banning, deals with bad-faith breaches of official policy.
- Interpersonal complaints are better sorted out at UDWiki:Administration/Arbitration.
- As much as is practical, assume good faith and try to iron out problems with other users one to one, only using this page as a last resort.
- Avoid submitting reports which are petty.

I'm sorry, you guys, but this is just plain ridiculous right now. These edits on the Main Page by Misanthropy and Spiderzed, all of which were caused by Yon's Ruling in the recent Poodle vs DDR Arby's case. The Main page is serious business. It's no place to carry out an Arby's ruling which was clearly a joke. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 00:55, 7 October 2011 (BST)
- If it's clear to you that it was a joke ruling never meant to be enacted, then why is there a case against me?--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 01:03, 7 October 2011 (BST)

He made changes to the entire page to make it look like we condone and glorify PK'ing. I have reverted the page to reflect our real goals. This user has been trolling the RS forum for some time now. And he has made changes to the burbs we occupy to list us has a hostile group. We are pro-survivor NOCKTRNL 08:34, 6 October 2011 (BST)
Given that he has set up a pker group to oppose RS, I find it pretty had to believe that this edit was in good faith. Vandalism.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 12:50, 6 October 2011 (BST)
Vandalism and warning. I know a bit of Leo's in-game and meta-game actions and can say this was not a good faith edit. ~ 14:28, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
- Vapor, do remember that the warnings go on the talk page, not the userpage. ;) --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 14:45, 6 October 2011 (BST)

Obviously someone creating an account just to do this to another user isn't really ok. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 21:15, 5 October 2011 (BST)
- Obvious vandalism. However, with potential newbs I err towards Soft Warning until repetition. -- Spiderzed█ 21:37, 5 October 2011 (BST)
- With a name like User:Blankity, I have serious doubt it was newb error. ~ 21:40, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
- I think we should keep an eye on Blankity for a few days first before deciding on a verdict. For all we know, Blankity could be G Styln, but under a different IP address due to a new network provider, moved into a new place, etc. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 00:17, 6 October 2011 (BST)
- I'm sure we'll get a response to the warning. If it is it can always be revoked but, a new account blanking a user from 2006 seems more likely to be someone they bothered off wiki. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 02:14, 6 October 2011 (BST)

Fuck caution. kill the shit out of it.
Vandalism - Pretty blatantly bad faith, particularly given the name. Doesn't qualify for 3ER so just give him a warning.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 12:42, 6 October 2011 (BST)
