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.


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.

Edge of Extinction

I would like to bring this group to the attention of the Sysops for a few reasons. I will start with the smallest first:

  • Harassment at our forums. Members from this group are continually visiting our forums to spam and make vulgar remarks to members. They have been repeatedly banned and posts deleted in vein attempts to keep them from coming back.
  • Supposed editing of our wiki pages. This is yet to be confirmed since I do not know how to track I.P. addresses.
  • Hacking, coinciding with their re-appearance there have been attempted hackings of both my U.D. accounts and personal accounts non-related to Urban Dead, this includes my AIM account and e-mail. Fortunately my AIM account is old so it appears they got little out of it other than changing my password.

Indeed I cannot link the hacker(s) to EoE, but, since the coincides fit so well, being that these jerks hate UC so much and apparently me in particular, with the hackers connection to U.D., I thought it warranted such actions.--Umbrella-White.pngPresident JacksonUmbrella-White.png 14:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Posting random shit on EVERYONE'S talk pages. Check his contribs, he has to be breaking some policy.--SirArgo Talk 02:58, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

here, here, here, here, and here. Thats just a few. I do know that whilst its spam it isnt vandalism, the first one on Karek's page is something that I thought could only constitute spam and hence why I think WOOT should be tried here on VB. Liberty 03:01, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh now I understand what you did on my page. But spamming is fun, so I wouldnt care.--Thadeous Oakley 08:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Not everyone appreciates spammage, so it is vandalism. Unfortunately for you, you were only a few posts away from getting your last warning struck too -- boxy talkteh rulz 13:34 2 February 2009 (BST)

Boo-fucking-hoo--/~Rakuen~\Talk Domo.gif I Still Love Grim 23:10, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Actually there's precedent that says this is OK provided you spammed under 20 talk pages, which you did. If you care enough to track it down feel free, i can't find where it is. I do remember it being referenced in relation to user:nallan spamming people's user pages with invited to the ALiM Party but i don't recall where it was discussed...--xoxo 04:46, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Vandalizing the user page of the vandal below. --Midianian|T|DS|C:RCS| 15:43, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I plead no contest. Guy below me there wanted people to look at his page to see his weird spam message, so I thought I'd get rid of it; as above, don't wait for a sysop to get involved etc. and just go back to reverting pages - which I did for some others of his, though someone beat me to the punch in a few of the cases. In retrospect, I probably should have just reverted his page to being blank - or course, I'm assuming creating the page was an act of vandalism to begin with. It just didn't occur to me at the time; my priority was getting rid of his vandalism. The fact that it's back there now on "his" page is just plain irritating. Just trying to cut through some red tape and keep the wiki clean-ish. --Blackboard 19:32, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Purely because it was an active vandal, and only because it was an active vandal I'm going to rule not Vandalism. However, please do not do it again otherwise it will result in an escalation. -- Cheese 22:27, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Since the page was deleted, meaning Midianian's diff link won't work I've copy pasted the page changes due to the ability to see deleted pages so we have a full record on this page. -- Cheese 22:34, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I am Sorry for the Vandalism But we now have no choice... Psychophill Must be stopped. He has discovered a way to give himself infinite time on the server and infinite AP. He plans on killing everyone in the city once and for all and destroying this game. We must stop him. I encourage everyone to tune their radios to 27.77 To hear a city wide announcement on Wednesday at 7:00 PM Eastern Standard time. Thank you for you time.

P.S. I do not encourage vandalism but I was left with no choice. Monitors if you wish you may delete this account just make sure this message reaches as many people as possible. Thank you again --PsychophillKILLER 15:20, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Slap me on the wrist for this, I don't give a shit.

-- Cheese 22:34, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Getting rid of the spam (that was repeated on many other pages) would count as reverting vandalism, even on the vandals user page (when it's an obvious permban candidate like this), however replacing it with your own message, especially the abuse ("CRAP") was not a wise move, and can indeed be seen as vandalism, as you seem to understand -- boxy talkteh rulz 00:44 2 February 2009 (BST)

Vandal spree. Oh, and the FAQ really should be cut into smaller pieces, I had trouble reverting it. --Midianian|T|DS|C:RCS| 15:43, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Mass vandalage. Perma. Also, more then three edits, no contribution in any way, shape, or form that betters the wiki. just that same spammy warning.--Suicidal Angel - Help needed? 16:01, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
