Please make your reports short and sweet...
... and then try to stay away from A/VB. Because any added insults, drama, speculation, or just plain commentary on the ongoing vandalism/sockpuppetry only serves to increase the disruption that is the aim of persistent vandals -- boxy talk • i 03:05 19 August 2008 (BST)
- I like the change that has gone on recently from what A/VB used to be, a hotspot for anger and arguing etc. I am strongly hoping it stays like this for a while more. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 07:10, 19 August 2008 (BST)
- Yeah, but at the moment, the whole page is totally inaccessible! Perhaps that's only temporary. But... still... The problem with making it too inaccessible (and the way it's looking at the moment, it's seeming like rather the pain in arse to get to...) is that people will shy off from making vandal reports because it's too much effort. Which just ends up making an admin service even more the province of only a select group of people who can be arsed to go through the hoops... I'm not sure that's the best way to go about things... My two bits worth. --WanYao 01:34, 1 September 2008 (BST) Ok, well apparently it's all here? Huuuuh? It's all rather confusing... Which kind of illustrates my point, IMO.... Hmph... --WanYao 01:36, 1 September 2008 (BST)
So, hur... it's fine to break A/VB in several montly pages but it's not fine to break promotions in a page per candidate... due the amount of pages one would have to place on the watchlist... and nice seeing this place still is a living bureaucratic hell. --People's Commissar Hagnat talk 02:16, 22 September 2008 (BST)

Policy regarding the contributions of vandal sock puppets
I was wondering if there's a policy regarding the contributions of vandal puppets. Specifically, if a puppet is created by a banned user for the purpose of editing the wiki, and then subsequently that puppet gets banned, hasn't that banned user accomplished their goal? It would seem to me that the responsible thing to do would be to revert all the edits of the puppet in question in order to deprive the banned user (aka she who must not be named) of the very thing they are banned from doing. What say you, wiki sysops? --Stephen Colbert DFA 18:14, 17 September 2008 (BST)
