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.

[edit] 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 a 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.

[edit] Before Submitting a Report

  • This page, Vandal Banning, deals with 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.


[edit] Vandalism Report Space

Administration Notice
Talk with the user before reporting or accusing someone of vandalism for small edits. In most cases it's simply a case of a new user that doesn't know how this wiki works. Sometimes assuming good faith and speaking with others can avoid a lot of drama, and can even help newbies feel part of this community.
Administration Notice
If you are not a System Operator, the user who made the vandal report, the user being reported, or directly involved in the case, the administration asks that you use the talk page for further discussion. Free-for-all commenting can lead to a less respectful environment.
Administration Notice
Warned users can remove one entry of their warning history every one month and 250 edits after their last warning. Remember to ask a sysop to remove them in due time. You are as responsible for keeping track of your history as the sysops are; In case of a sysop wrongly punishing you due to an outdated history, he might not be punished for his actions.

User_talk:The_Quiet_One

I asked The Quiet One why he did it, and saw a puppet named "Lemonhater" had deleted an unrelated comment by someone else...odd.

While on the surface it looks like a newbie mistake, im fairly certain that this is a sock puppet based on the fact he's using an open proxy. As such, Warned for now, and the proxy banned. --The Grimch U! E! 03:38, 5 September 2008 (BST)
Ok, idiot continued editing and checkuser linked him to User:Lemonhater and User:Met Fan. Permabanned as an alt of Met Fan, warning for this account transferred to Met Fan. --The Grimch U! E! 07:29, 7 September 2008 (BST)

[edit] User:Soldier

(Soldier | talk | contribs | logs1 | logs2 | block | IP Check | vndl data )

Impersonation. -- Iscariot GC PK WTE

It's a whacky way to organize comments on his talk page. He didn't alter the content of your post so it's not vandalism. It might be good to suggest a posting guideline for the page, though. -- AHLGTH 22:07, 2 September 2008 (BST)
Is removing my signature, thus leaving doubt as to who posted it not impersonation? He has altered my post and now it is unclear who wrote it. Surely vandalism? -- Iscariot GC PK WTE 22:13, 2 September 2008 (BST)
Did you read the header? -- AHLGTH 22:14, 2 September 2008 (BST)
I did, ran into a conflict whilst making the following point. Precedent on A/VB clearly show that altering the heading of another, even on a talk page, for any reason, is an act of vandalism. -- Iscariot GC PK WTE 22:17, 2 September 2008 (BST)
No, changing a header without good reason, make a fool of or anything that is clearly bad faith is. Otherwise I'd have to warn Grim for this. -- AHLGTH 22:21, 2 September 2008 (BST)
Precedent case in question. Please note the ruling sysop's direct quote; "You can't edit someone else's comment. Adding that image made it seem like the original poster made that headline a link to that image.". Please note, no disclaimer for good faith or organising.
Swiers responds with "a lot of users change the headers that discussions get posted to on their talk page's. If we dug them all up, we should probably be banning several such users. What's the difference in this case?"
Ruling sysop responds with"This was reported. You dig up more cases I'll vote them Vandalism. The user didn't create that header and didn't have the right to make it redirect to a macro."
My post and header was changed to something I did not create. It creates the impression I posted in a way other than I did. Precedent backed. -- Iscariot GC PK WTE 22:34, 2 September 2008 (BST)
That's not the same. The header was changed to a picture telling the user to get real friends. The change in this case is adding the (correct) name. Also, see here. Lastly, precedent isn't law, I'm not going to follow it blindly when the cases are clearly not the same. -- AHLGTH 22:45, 2 September 2008 (BST)

I'm with Gnome on this one. Not Vandalism. No evidence of bad faith. Talk to the user rather than bringing every single insignificant injustice that you have suffered here straight away. -- Cheese WTF!RandomSysOp? 23:15, 2 September 2008 (BST)

[edit] User:Skritz

(Skritz | talk | contribs | logs1 | logs2 | block | IP Check | vndl data )

Vandalized group page removing important data. --Sonny Corleone DORIS MSD pr0n 05:35, 1 September 2008 (BST)

Yup, Warned --The Grimch U! E! 03:02, 2 September 2008 (BST)

[edit] User:Airborne88

(Airborne88 | talk | contribs | logs1 | logs2 | block | IP Check | vndl data )

Same reason as before. Grand spamming of the welcome newbie template on pages where the users are months, even years old and obviously inactive. Example links to get you started:

These are just a random sample of his "welcome run" earlier today. For complete list, please check here. The Jamie one appears to have been the only deleted one by the Gnome (Checking the logs), for which i am greatly curious. --The Grimch U! E! 23:47, 31 August 2008 (BST)

Jamie Cantwell3 talk page was a A/D request. -- AHLGTH 23:57, 31 August 2008 (BST)

Its still going on. He just welcomed User:Jeff_the_Baptist, who has been a member of this wiki since at least the 16th of November 2006. SWince this report has been ignored for two days i am exercising the rights granted to me under this part of A/G, specifically point 4. Warned --The Grimch U! E! 02:54, 2 September 2008 (BST)
