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.

Blanking of Talk:Crusade '08 page here and again here, because he thinks disagreement is trolling. --Silisquish 22:52, 12 October 2008 (BST)

Per Specific Case Editing Guidelines, users & groups do indeed have the right to remove content from their talk pages, although it is considered poor form to do so without creating an archive. You are always free to post your comments on a page of your own. —[Revenant] [Hey, you!] [Cades] 05:21, 13 October 2008 (BST)

Are you serious? -- #99 ^DCC 06:18, 9 October 2008 (BST)

Ok, let's take this to the talk page, fellows. I'm pretty sure I'm going to vote Not Vandalism on this, but you two seem to need to talk this out. --– Nubis 07:31, 9 October 2008 (BST)

Yep, not vandalism, he just missed your talk page. Stoopit doesn't equal bad faith -- boxy ^{talk • i} 10:15 9 October 2008 (BST)

Sockpuppet to evade ban. --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 23:50, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Banned the sock. I call a Permaban Vote. -- Cheese ^{WTF!RandomSysOp?} 23:53, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Yep - Continues to evade bans despite having 3 socks killed in past hour or so. -- Cheese ^{WTF!RandomSysOp?} 23:53, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Wait up, that sock puppet's contributions are from the same time the last one was banned, so the puppet gets banned, but not an escalation. And when you ban someone who's using sock puppets, please make sure you block the IP addy for the same period, which should have stopped this rot 2 cases ago -- boxy ^{talk • i} 10:37 8 October 2008 (BST)

I have asked cyberbob twice to cease posting exclusively to troll on my misconduct case, as you can see here, he has not done so. (My requests can be found in the second deep set of indents here. Trolling is exclusively bad faith, FYI. --The Grimch ^{U! E!} 23:24, 7 October 2008 (BST)

You've been warned about spamming admin pages several times, bob. That's a 48 hour ban. -- Cheese ^{WTF!RandomSysOp?} 23:26, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Overturned the ban since the escalation was to such a level that punishment would be a ban it is only fitting that this gets a sysop vote. Not to mention that the "offense" is so "open to interpretation" that a discussion is clearly needed on what his exact "crime" is. Not Vandalism since he has every right to post there. --– Nubis 14:26, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Vandalism - You have been told to stop this crap, many, many times. -- AHLGTH 18:39, 8 October 2008 (BST)

If I was trolling, you should go and bring cases against like three quarters of the people posting in that "We have found a witch, may we burn it?" section. Whoops, damn, I forgot - you only bring cases against people that disagree with you. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 21:41, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Wouldn't that be just about the entire user base of the wiki? :/ I don't think 200kb would be enough room, we'd need to have pages like: UDWiki:Administration/Vandal Banning/Archive/2008 10/Grimdler's List/Page 4 of 67 -- Cheese ^{WTF!RandomSysOp?} 21:46, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Oh, I don't think that would be much of a problem for Grim. If there's one thing he has lots of it's free time. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 06:29, 9 October 2008 (BST)

This ID circumvents a week ban. Persistent vandal, request perma due to repeated ban evasion. -- St. Iscariot ^{GC PK WTE} 23:17, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Extended to 1 month ban. Next one gets the Permavote. -- Cheese ^{WTF!RandomSysOp?} 23:21, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Sweet. If he gets perma then I'm adding him to the list on the Witch Burners. --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 23:27, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Intentionally putting a suggestion policy in the main suggestion system. --Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 07:59, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Well, he's already serving a 48hr ban, so while I'm inclined to rule this as vandalism, I'd include it in the case below (ie. no A/VD escalation beyond what has already been applied), but will remove the spammy suggestion -- boxy ^{talk • i} 10:17 7 October 2008 (BST)

More after I asked him on his talk page to stop. --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 02:05, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Another he did to someone else earlier today. --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 02:07, 7 October 2008 (BST)

48 hour block -- AHLGTH 02:12, 7 October 2008 (BST)

[edit] User:Shotgun

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

Here's a case of impersonation, and vandalism as he's just making shit up that doesn't reflect the in-game reality, as well as altering someone else's post and trying to disguise it as if a user called "Monkeh" did the edits. Also, check his contribs, where he's edit warring on the Fort Perryn page with similar nonsense. As it's serial trolling and shitting up of the wiki, I came straight here rather than try diplomacy. Some people just are vandals (and besides, a guy called Lord Nightmare has tried asking him to stop on the Perryn edit war). --Funt Solo ^QT 20:33, 5 October 2008 (BST)

Some examples [1], [2], [3], [4] and spreading false information. No desirable edits therefore, blocked.-- AHLGTH 03:42, 6 October 2008 (BST)

[edit] User:Obsdark

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

Soft warning given to Obsdark for deleting comments (poorly) off Talk:Suggestions. Remember kids, just because you don't agree with a poster that doesn't mean you can delete their comments off public pages. (The T:S page history is a nightmare, but he deleted a DCC post and placed ranting nonsense over it.) Just posting for informational reasons. --– Nubis 01:05, 5 October 2008 (BST)

Since when did deleting comments merit a mere soft warning? --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 01:07, 5 October 2008 (BST)

Anyone is free to give unofficial warnings rather than bring a VB case here, if they feel that is a better way to deal with the situation. Saying that you've done it here is counterproductive. Please don't -- boxy ^{talk • i} 13:57 5 October 2008 (BST)

Nubis is a pansy ass and worries that if he comes down hard "defending" a fellow goon people will scream favoritism. He's a fucking moron.-- #99 ^DCC 02:51, 6 October 2008 (BST)

[edit] User:Happykook

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

This edit. Removing a signed comment from a talk page without reason. Given Happykook's history with me, this is clearly targeted and therefore a bad faith edit to remove my comment from a community talk page. -- St. Iscariot ^{GC PK WTE} 11:55, 3 October 2008 (BST)

Not Vandalism - Take it up with him instead of bringing it here. -- Cheese ^{WTF!RandomSysOp?} 13:26, 4 October 2008 (BST)

I point all readers to the above case and this one to compare and contrast. Both regarding removals from community talk pages, however one results in a soft warning (in which the sysop in question clearly states it would be a full warning if the case was brought here) and the other where it's ruled not vandalism and the ruling sysop recommends further contact with the vandal in order to promote more wiki drama. A/VB, when you absolutely positively have to flip a coin for any decision, accept no substitutes. -- St. Iscariot ^{GC PK WTE} 12:17, 5 October 2008 (BST)

This is why the syops need to decide, be a dick to everyone (Grim), or be kind and helpful to everyone (AHLG). Not stuck in the middle, giving out "soft warnings" to some, and "LOLBANz" to others based on who they are. And how in the fuck is this petty? He removed his whole comment...--/~Rakuen~\^Talk 17:23, 5 October 2008 (BST)

Not Vandalism - very petty reporting from Iscariot, yet again. It was a purely coincidental comment about wiki maintenance that any decent wiki contributor should be fine with it being removed once it had served it's purpose (keeping the section from being re-inserted on the main Mall page). However I see no reason why the comment was reinserted by Cheese if there was already a ruling of not vandalism, as it did nothing but up the drama level on the page -- boxy ^{talk • i} 13:54 5 October 2008 (BST)
