UDWiki:Administration/Vandal Banning/Archive1

Shortcut:
A/VB

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.

Adbots

Report adbots here. The log of all bans is found at Block log. The list of currently blocked users is found at Ipblocklist. This space should be cleared once a day.

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.

Yet another WikiNews Goatse.--SirArgo ^Talk 01:33, 19 August 2008 (BST)

Ok guys... Time to get in contact with the proxies (if possible) and trace it to buddy's ISP... It's obviously one person doing this... Get his interwebz cut off, and his daddy might beat him some more, and we'll all be happy. --WanYao 01:37, 19 August 2008 (BST)

Stop dog-piling please, there is no need to comment on each case. This guy has been perma'd.--Karek^maps?! 01:38, 19 August 2008 (BST)

He keeps coming back though. I don't think he's perma banned just yet.--SirArgo ^Talk 01:39, 19 August 2008 (BST)

Why are none of these vandals being put on A/VD?--xoxo 01:11, 19 August 2008 (BST)

Permbanned users don't need recording on A/VD, it is only there to keep track of vandal escalations. You can't escalate past a permban, so recording them achieves nothing but to fill the page up more than it is already -- boxy ^{talk • i} 02:17 19 August 2008 (BST)

I did think about that but it seems a fair few of them are on there anyway, the guy above me on the list has like 30 alts listed all permaed.--xoxo 02:38, 19 August 2008 (BST)

If we get proof of who it is they will be added to that account and dealt with. --– Nubis ^NWO 22:48, 19 August 2008 (BST)

Check his contribs, preemptive ban on the image he uploaded, but I'd advise against looking at it. He's obviously going to vandalize a page with it. Techercizer ^(Food) _(TSoE) 00:14, 19 August 2008 (BST)

FUCKING GOATSE! BAN HIM NOW!--SirArgo ^Talk 00:16, 19 August 2008 (BST)

Looks like he's hit the Wiki News page. Can't say I didn't see it coming and warn yall... Techercizer ^(Food) _(TSoE) 00:17, 19 August 2008 (BST)

Why the fuck is Gman making these accounts? Techercizer, I read your warning too late. He is a sick fuck...--SirArgo ^Talk 00:18, 19 August 2008 (BST)

Well acting angry and emotional about it isn't gonna discourage him, just ignore him except for tracking and reporting his alts, and he'll go away. People like him don't get enough attention in their lives, so they try to get it online by acting out. Techercizer ^(Food) _(TSoE) 00:23, 19 August 2008 (BST)

Go look at his user contributions.--Kristi of the Dead 23:56, 18 August 2008 (BST)

While annoying if we declare this is vandalism then we will have to do the same for the Great Suburb Massacre since they are both leaving lots of messages on talk pages. If the groups want them removed they can, but it seems to be a legit event that has a place on those pages. (also sign your posts)--– Nubis ^NWO 23:53, 18 August 2008 (BST)

I was gonna sign my post but someone was editing what I posted as I did so. Sorry. Tell me again what you did about the 5th of november spammings? Cause those were about a legit event as well? I seem to remember them being removed or something. Also the Great suburb massacre isn't an event in game it's about cleaning up the wiki and isn't relevant.--Kristi of the Dead 23:54, 18 August 2008 (BST)

I don't remember the 5th of November incident so hopefully some other sysop will chime in on that. I don't know how an event can get any attention any other way outside of posting on talk pages, so I am not sure how else they can do this. It's annoying, but what are their options? (I understand why you missed signing your post - editing all those links is a pain)--– Nubis ^NWO 00:03, 19 August 2008 (BST)

The 5th of november guys did the exact same thing. Only difference was that theirs was pro survivor. It got them in trouble as I remember. But as for what they should do. They should make a wiki page for the event like everyone else does. You didn't see the Big Bash wiki spamming their event all over the place. You didn't see the Mall tour spamming all over the place. That's what the precident was (in my mind at least)--Kristi of the Dead 00:07, 19 August 2008 (BST)

Well hey you are helpful! Thanks man. Looks like grim warned him and reverted all the edits made for the 5th of november stuff.--Kristi of the Dead 00:13, 19 August 2008 (BST)

The Great Suburb Massacre is a wiki maintenance thing. This is just spam. Burn the witch!!! --WanYao 00:45, 19 August 2008 (BST)

A way back in the day I went a little overboard with "advertising" for a group, and IIRC it was removed. TGSGM is wiki maintenance, like those "Welcome to the Wiki!" messages.--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 01:02, 19 August 2008 (BST)

This has been ruled vandalism in the past, as should this case. The Suburb Massacre template is a wiki maintenance thing, and a courtesy to the groups, letting them know that something that they have contributed to the wiki, and may want to save, is about to be changed, and is no more spam than placing warning templates on multiple vandal's pages. This sort of "cold calling" where you post on dozens of group/user talk pages with a cut'n'paste ad in the hope of getting a few takers to publicise an in game event is, however -- boxy ^{talk • i} 02:31 19 August 2008 (BST)

He has too many proxies. I have been fighting him, and over five accounts of his, for over two hours.--SirArgo ^Talk 23:30, 18 August 2008 (BST)

Once the mods get interested it'll stop being a problem. It takes them 2 clicks to clean up his mess and like 8 for him to make it. net win for justice! Techercizer ^(Food) _(TSoE) 23:33, 18 August 2008 (BST)

Sorry for blaming you, I was just trying to keep some sort of vandal report up here after it got deleted by the imposter.--SirArgo ^Talk 21:48, 18 August 2008 (BST)

Before jumping to the vandalism page, make sure the vandal edits are fixed first ... As in, fix em! Then go through the history and see what, exactly, happened. From there, you report here. --WanYao

I couldn't fix the WikiNews because it got protected WITH the malicious link on it. But for the future I shall revert first.--SirArgo ^Talk 21:54, 18 August 2008 (BST)

But seriously...how did someone protect using a account that was name workaroundeded? I presume this is the same thing that means Kevan is on A/VD but i still don't see how they protected the page...--xoxo 01:09, 19 August 2008 (BST)

This edit certainly straddles the border of impersonation, if not actually crossing into the zone... Ninja13 has been around a while and knows how to sign posts. But here he fails to sign a post, and instead adds the names "Nubis" and "Wan Yao" to the end... Somehow I just can't believe that this "oversight" was an "accident". Can you? It's obviously not impersonation exactly... But close e-fucking-nough? --WanYao 06:11, 18 August 2008 (BST)

It's trolling and not very good. I guess I left what is a soft warning on his talk page, but the next time he does that I will say vandalism.--– Nubis ^NWO 06:24, 18 August 2008 (BST)

Not vandalism - it's pretty hard to believe that he was actually trying to impersonate 2 people at once (unless you guys have a joint account I don't know about). He still should have signed his parody though, and I will tell him so -- boxy ^{talk • i} 15:37 18 August 2008 (BST)

The sinister global domination plot is at last revealed. All is going exactly according to plan... Yes, Nubis and I are ONE!!! My "Hive Mind Apparatus" works! It really works!!!
