UDWiki:Administration/Vandal Banning/Archive/2010 02

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.

Spambots

Spambots are to be reported on this page. New reports should be added to the top. Reports may be purged after one week.

Alt of a banned user. See link for a screenshot of YRFN's profile when it had a link to Ripf22's website in it (I hovered my mouse over the link to take the screenshot so you can see the link in the lower lefthand corner of the browser). The name was also on you-know-who's website before it was changed and is visible in previously-posted screenshots. --dgw 16:04, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

To clarify a bit: The previously-posted screenshot I just mentioned, note the times next to GasCandle and YRFN: [1]. User:F22raptor claims on their user page that they are YRFN in the game, and YRFN's profile contained a link to Ripf22/GasCandle's website. --dgw 16:18, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't I remember J3D getting demoted for making sarky comments instead of dealing with a vandal account? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:21, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't I remember J3D's demotion being a culmination of his terrible behaviour as a sysop because he defended his friends (one of which, sexylegsread, actually made the alt account in question, as a direct attack on another user? Oh, not to mention the IP evidence against said alt account which was more than enough evidence to ban on sight unlike this one)? Oh yes, that's perfect precedence. But you know misconduct when you see it, why not send me to A/M now? Do the honours, sherlock. --

When I squint that almost sounds like backseat modding, hmm. I'm not ruling yet because I'm not sure, and only because I've spent more effort in my day responding to your trolling than actually checking this user out fully. You are an energy sapper, you. --

Edited a suggestion already in progress. Twice. --Blake Firedancer ^{T E RNL? P.I.S.I.T.} 07:25, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Not vandalism - not reading the instructions is not bad faith, vandalism. You could have removed the suggestion because of this clause Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed. Given that you rolled back his edits before it influenced any votes, it would be within the spirit of the suggestions system to leave this one to go the term, as is (rather than force a resubmission) -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 09:45 14 February 2010 (BST)

So what? The entire wiki is pretty much an open source; anything placed here is open to copying. If you don't want your "work" to be copied then don't submit here. Unoriginality is not against the rules. Changing a group-page that isn't yours is. Also, you're one to talk, the head-banner you removed from their page isn't even yours, it was created by the CDF. --Thadeous Oakley 22:11, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

It was?! Ok that is bad, sorry.
