::[[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2007_09#Mr._Krabs|Mr. Krabs]] case isn't really relevant here. This isn't inane spam. [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2007_09#Codename_V|Codename V]] is much closer. I would like to hear other sysops opinion on this, but I feel that this is a good faith attempt to improve the wiki by getting more people to update the wiki with NecroNet details from their local area. While codename v was simply advertising an in game event via the wiki, this information is wiki related, even if done in an "in character" fashion. It probably wasn't the best way to go about it, however, it would have been better to simply place a link at the bottom of [[Template:Suburb]] <small>-- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|talk]] • [[UDWiki:Image Categorisation|i]]</sup> 06:08 30 December 2007 (BST)</small>
:::Yes, and Codename V's was made in an apparently good faith attempt to get human groups together to march into Ridleybank and be eaten. Good faith has not been treated as a factor when dealing with spam because spam is fucking annoying and a pain in the arse to revert if its not caught before someone else edits. Mobius spends most of his time on the suburb pages, and knows that stuff that isnt news shouldnt be on there. The fact he spammed 80+ pages with blatant advertisements for his project, which took me about an hour to undo this afternoon with a little help from Ryiis (Who got three of them) should be more than enough to string him up on this occasion. Burn him! Burn the spammer! --[[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]] [[We are Trolls!|WAT!]]</sup> 07:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
::::Interesting. I really don't consider my news posts to be spam because they served a real purpose. First it let everyone know about NecroWatch, which is relevant to both the wiki and the game, second it drew their attention to those NT location wikipages which I had updated (as most were simple location placeholders) for which I received [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/User_talk:Mobius187#Quarlesbank_NTs positive feedback], and third I only targeted those suburbs that actually had NT facilities. True spam, in my book, would have been a simple cookie-cutter advert that could have been dropped into every suburb in a few seconds each. Instead I took the time to link to each NT facility and also spread that news in a pattern based on suburb threat levels (all green suburbs with NTs one day, all yellow suburbs with NTs another day, and so on). Again, I see nothing wrong with informing the public in the best way that I know of, which from a wiki user's perspective, is the news of the suburb they are located in. On the flip side, if you had chosen to come to me first and asked me to remove these news items because they had breached some sort of wiki policy I would have and then saved you all the apparent trouble. I think you would find that I am extraordinarily agreeable person and am always willing to go that extra mile to undo anything should someone have actually taken offence. Please don't misunderstand though, I would not have undone my work as an admittance of any wrongdoing, since as I stated there was no malicious intent on my part, but rather for the reason that I prefer to see other people happy, especially when their motives are unbiased in their complaint. Of course I think communication is an important part of community. --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] 19:14, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
'''Not Vandalism''' The information was relevant to each page he posted on. You could make an argument about if News header was the right place for it but disagreements about an edit should be handled on [[A/A]] not here. In anycase this is clearly not vandalism.- [[User:Vantar|Vantar]] 19:39, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
:Thank you. I feel this ruling represents the truth of the matter. Of course I'm not all talk, even though this ruling was in my favor I have no absolutely no intention of restoring the news items Grim deleted, as apparently Grim took offence to them. As I stated, I do not seek to annoy anyone here on the UD wiki so long as the motive behind their complaint is not suspect. I don't believe Grim's motive in this case is suspect because he was working under the assumption that this was similar to Codename V's propaganda. I will investigate Boxy's suggestion though, to place a link at the bottom of [[Template:Suburb]] instead. --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] 19:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
:I am arguing that such comments are spam, especially when made in such gargantuan quantities. There are far better ways to inform people of your project than by posting on almost every suburb page. We dont let anyone else advertise in such a blatant and spammy manner (see Codename V cases), but it appears ''you'' have carte blanche to do whatever the fuck you like. Who cares if we have ruled the other way in the past? I am appalled by this ruling. It is basically saying that we will rule one way for some people, and another way for others, that there is a different set of rules for people who are liked and people who arent. If it had been me doing this, i would have been crucified, i mean, check the bottom of this page for an example of a blatantly unfair case being ruled against me despite no crime being committed. Case in point. --[[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]] [[We are Trolls!|WAT!]]</sup> 21:04, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
::This isn't a black and white issue, Grim. This is in the gray area between the codename v case, and [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2007_10#Axe27|Axe27]], who was accused of spamming when placing [[Template:Welcomenewbie]] on multiple user talk pages <small>-- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|talk]] • [[UDWiki:Image Categorisation|i]]</sup> 00:26 31 December 2007 (BST)</small>
:::The welcomenewbie templates, while detestable (And merely a tool for those who wish to ascend places in the infantile signature race), are at the very least relevant and, on exceedingly rare occasions, possibly even helpful. RP IC nonsense about individuals squatting in NT buildings upgrading machinery is NOT helpful. It is fan fiction, at best. Spamming it on at least 83 pages is excessive in the extreme and crosses the border between sincere attempt to notify people of something and pure spam. The suburb pages have never been used as a place to advertise wiki projects, issues or discussions. They are places for giving information regarding the suburb. In this sense, the IC posts by [[user:Mobius187|Mobius187]] are in many cases contrary to the intent of the page, as they imply the NT buildings are up and running, and quite possibly safe for new players to hide in (What with his talk of people there upgrading them). A newbie could then wander into, and im using a rather extreme example of one of his posts to demonstrate this, [[the Blackmore Building]] in [[Ridleybank]] expecting it to be a safehaven and end up lunch. The posts were in many cases misleading, and we dont allow false or misleading reports when we see them. We delete them. Furthermore, it gives the appearance of a game update, until you dig a tiny bit deeper, and lets face it, not many people do that these days. His posting of these messages was done in an advertising capacity. If he really, really wanted to raise awareness of it, he should have gone to the [[Template:Suburb]] [[Template talk:Suburb|talk page]] and posted a request to have it added to the template, with the list of links at the bottom, or possibly even elsewhere as the discussion merited. Such would have been a constructive, and most especially, a non spammy way to do what he wanted. He could have also posted it on the [[Current_Projects|projects page]]. He could have posted it on the [[Talk:Main_Page|Main page talk page]] or even the [[Talk:Suburb|Suburbs talk page]]. But no. He has to spam the suburb pages with non-newsworthy misleading in character crap instead of taking any number of other viable and, overall, sensible measures instead. No one else has EVER been allowed to use the suburb pages in such a manner, and this case, sadly, sets the nasty precedent that they now can be used in such a way. This is a man advertising his pet project. In this respect he is no different from [[User:Rip purr|Rip purr]], who advertised his own pet project, the [[5th of November]], under the alias [[User:Codename V|Codename V]]. However, we dont like Codename V/Rip purr, but we apparently all love [[user:Mobius187|Mobius187]]. There is no viable difference between this case and that case (The only real one i can think of is that Rip purr created an alt to spam his nonsense under). Yet we have different verdicts. This is not justice, this is instead the clearest evidence we have for administrative double standards on this wiki, and it is just those double standards that are killing this place. --[[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]] [[We are Trolls!|WAT!]]</sup> 02:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
::::The viable difference is that it was an effort to get people to contribute to improving the information available on the wiki (by updating necronet map screenshots). Codename v did nothing of the sort, simply promoting an in game event (of no benefit to the wiki), despite being warned about it the year before. And I'll thank you not to tell me who I do and do not like. Quite frankly, I've nothing against Codename V/Rip purr. If Mobius does it again, or reverts your removals from the news sections, then yeah, I'd warn him, now that he knows that it is pushing the line. But I feel that the fact that it was done in good faith to improve the wiki, and the fact that Mobius is open to criticism and willing to change his behaviour (and even offered to undo the posts in question if he had known before) when he realises he is annoying other users gives him the right to an assumption of good faith <small>-- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|talk]] • [[UDWiki:Image Categorisation|i]]</sup> 10:55 31 December 2007 (BST)</small>

For blatantly going oustdie the case he was asked to arbitrate by [[User:Max Grivas|Max Grivas]] and myself. He was tasked to arbitrate on the matter of Akule's persistent troll lawyering on admionistration pages, specificially [[A/D]] and [[A/VB]]. Instead, he decided to rule outside of [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki%3AAdministration%2FArbitration&diff=820128&oldid=819912 the case he was asked to arbitrate] by the instigating parties. While Akule did bring up personality conflicts, by doing so he did not expand the case. Such information should have been treated as either background information or irrelevant details. Given the nature of the case, it would be the latter, as personality conflicts rarely have anything to do with rules lawyering.

Not only did Conndraka go outside the case, he went so far over the top in the scale of his ruling, especially given the slow and decidedly tame and drama free nature of the case, that it simply beggars belief. Permenant no contacts put on myself and Max, that prevent us from participating in any adminsitartive discussion started by Akule (Precident set by bloody stupid ruling below that is being appealed), including preventing any participation on any possible policy discussion designed to get rid of us. Three months banned from [[A/D]], [[A/SD]] and [[A/U]] for Akule. The ruling was, to be blunt, insane. I ask that the following be done:
#The ruling be struck
#All punishments regarding such ruling be struck
#Conndraka be removed from the list of arbitrators permenantly

''Discussion on talk page. It is asked that all sysops read that before making their decision, as a lot of relevant discussion has taken place''<br>
'''Not Vandalism''' - The ruling states that Grim is not able to ''directly comment'' (by comment, I assume post) on the entry involving Akule.  He indirectly posted through Bisfan, who was not coerced or intimidated to do so by Grim or anyone else, therefore not breaking the arby's ruling.

'''Vandalism''' as per a DIRECT READING of the arbitration ruling, which states such:  "Max and Grim are to recuse themselves from any issue where Akule is considered a principle."  The ''creation'' and of a page in which posting to Akule's talk-page being an issue that Akule is considered a principle of is an example of Grim not recuse-ing himself.  --[[User:Karlsbad|Karlsbad]] 05:22, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

<del>'''Vandalism''' - The spirit of conndraka's arby ruling is that grim and akule should not directly comment wherever one is a strong participant. Grim found a loophole on said ruling, which was clever and funny, but a sign of bad faith. Loopholes are nothing but breaches on the law that allow people to circumvent it, thus acting in illegality. Grim knew that he shouldnt be part of the discussion, but found someone to help him be part of it *indirectly*. I am not saying that i agree with Conn's ruling in here, which i find to be nonsense since it had nothing to do with the arby case itself, but while said ruling is still valid, i have no other choice but to rule '''Vandalism''' on grim's part for this matter. --{{User:Hagnat/sig}} 15:31, 1 December 2007 (UTC)</del>

:Here it is.
:I wish i could say i was suprised, but im not. Ive known from the start that this was a kangaroo court, so let this stand as my final statement, my summary of all that ive said. It is perhaps best if i start at the absolute beginning, by which i do mean the arbitration case in question. I shall then detail how the UDwiki namespace is not subject to that ruling, and move onto how the arbitration ruling has been arbitrarily interpreted in the harshest possible way without a care to its content, then move onto how the creation of my page was in good faith, then to the adherance to the arb ruling by having bisfan post the comments for me, skirting onwards to how this was all made in good faith, then onto the larger issue of good faith in general with regards to this case, and finally winding up with a few comments on the case, and a conclusion.
:Conndraka was asked to arbitrate an issue between three users. That issue was the case of Akule, and of his alleged troll lawyering on administrational pages. At no point was the case widened to include the deeper drama between us. Akule may have brought such stuff up in his argument, but if he did, such would exist solely as background material to his case, or be of complete irrelevance to the case itself. In a court of law, a jury is allowed only to rule on the charges brought before them, they cannot go off and make up new charges mid way through the proceedings. When Conndraka ruled, he ruled to "hopefully put an end to the [Personality] issues". These were not part of the case. They never came up in anything but Akules argument, and they were outside the scope of the case when he did so. By ruling a verdict down on these perceiced problems, Conndraka ruled outside the case. If i were to rule on a case between say, The Gnome and Seventythree regarding perhaps the use of the cookie template on each others page, and then forbod all contact between them instead solving the problem of the cookie template, i would be just as out of line. I hereby ask that the administrators willfully dismiss that arb ruling and strike it from the record as illegal on the grounds presented here.
:Onwards now, to the start of this case. The UDwiki namespace (And its talk namespace) is public domain. It belongs to no one. Thus even if Akule posts something in that namespace, i am permitted to respond, as the Arbitration ruling does not apply where there is not page ownership. It is a public and administrational namespace, and as a user of this wiki it is my indelible right to post in this namespace, as it is integral to the running of this wiki. Nothing can take that right away. By saying i cannot post in it you are not only hamstringing me as a sysop, but as a user. You are taking away my voice on matters of change. In short, no matter what i post there, so long as it is within th guidelines of this wiki, i should not be warned and/or banned.
:There are two ways to say that people cant write on something. Actually, there are more, but they boil down to these two. You can say they cant comment on something at all, and you can say they cant comment on something directly. Conndraka did both in his ruling, and as a result you have to assume he meant both.
{{Quote|Conndraka|Max and Grim are to recuse themselves from any issue where Akule is considered a principle.}}
:Not at all.
{{Quote|Conndraka|Additionally, Max and Grim are not to directly comment on any Group Page or Entry where Akule is the principle author.}}
:Direct.
:As he used both, it is only reasonable to assume, in the absence of anything to the contrary, that he meant both. If you are going to assume one, why must you assume the more harsh? Is not the latter equally as valid? By assuming the former you have doomed me unfairly. Hence why i have called this a kangaroo court from the outset. I am not alloweed to interpret, but you apparently are more than welcome to interpret until you can wrap me in guilt. I will not stand for this.
:I created the page, [[User:Grim s/Sandbox/Commentplates]] as a place to gripe about this arbitration ruling, and to use its specific wording (And apparently intent, as detailed above). There is nothing on that page saying Akule is a cocksucker or anything else so direct about it. It does show my contempt for the arb ruling, but nothing that i hadnt already shown upon the arbitration talk page. As such, the page in and of itself, just by existing, does not violate the arbitration ruling. You cannot penalise me for it existing, by doing so you crucify anyone who complains about an arbitration ruling in future. The creation of that page, even if it is ruled to be something to get around the arbuitration ruling (Your arbitrary interpretation of it, as detailed above), is nothing unless i actually do something about it. We do not warn p[eople who say they will vandalise this wiki. We warn people for actually making good on that threat. Without a crime, you cannot punish. "Threatening" a crime is not a crime on this wiki, especially since it is so hard to make sure it was not made in jest. Its what seperates the sysops of this wiki from the tyrants so many of the foolish already believe we are. We only act on crimes, rather than the perception of a crime in potentia.
:The wording of the arbitration ruling, which i only have to assume was intentional, based on what i said in the fourth paragraph of this response, allows for indirect commenting. Indirect commenting is, almost always, commenting about things on another page. I obeyed this, commenting about the things in my userspace. I not once edited the conversation in question. My comments were elsewhere, and were templated in by a friend. Admittedly this stretches indirect a tiny bit, but certainly not to breaking. I didnt threaten bisfan to do it, and i didnt bribe him. I asked him as a friend to employ the creative use of the wiki software i had devised to let my voice be heard. Indeed, i was commenting about the page in the main namespace, not the talk page. As such, that in and of itself should provide sufficient justification for the term indirect to come into play. What i did was no different in meaning to if i had written something in IRC and asked him to post it for me, and we have never, ever penalised someone for doing that before, not even if they were under a ban and wanted a misconduct case posted for them by a friend. In any case, this only applies if my third paragraph is dismissed. In the UDwiki namespace is beyond the reach of that arbitration ruling, then no matter how i commented, i did so legally, and this entire case is a sham.
:People have commented on how i did this as justification for assuming bad faith. It was not. When i started, i was unsure of the events. Uncertain. I wanted to comment, yet didnt know for sure whether it was permitted or not. As a result i creates the commentplates subpage of my userpage and, in accordance with my reasoning in paragraph four, i played it safe. Adhering to the ruling yet still posting my comment, in a roundabout way. Many of you have maintained that assumption of bad faith erroneously, mainly because i am, as some people put it, not well liked. The presence of a reasonable explaination, such as this one, should be grounds enough for restoring that assumption of good faith. With anyone else, it would be. With me, not so much. So i shall go further. You will note that nothing i posted through this method was antagonistic or belligerent. It was, in fact, constructive and largly on topic, escept for dealing with a side issue with my third one. You can examine themselves through the link i provided earlier. Do those posts look like the work of a person who was posting in bad faith, or do they look liike the posts of a user who is trying to be constructive and helpful? I will leave you to answer that yourselves. I am curious to know your answers though, so feel free to post them on [[User talk:Grim s/Sandbox/Commentplates|this page]] (Redlink, yes, its a talk page of my subpage).
:This leads into my next point. It is clear that at no point in these proceedings have i been given the assumption of good faith, due to any user on this wiki. I have had to fight, tooth and nail throughout the proceedings, to stave off the accusations and asertions of those who wish me ill. Accusation is not normally proof, but in this case it is and has been used as such. I understand that i am not popular, i understand that some very vocal individuals hate me. I am equally certain that they are the minority. Please do not go into this with the intention of plaseing this group of individuals. Instead, please treat me as you would any other user, ignore the hoots and jeers from the crowd, and judge this case on it merits, dubious as they are, rather than as to how you want to be percieved by that crowd. All i ask is for what has thus far been denied me here: A fair go.
:Which leads to my next point. Karlsbad. He has accepted that the UDwiki namespace is not touched by the ruling in this case, but he assumes bad faith with regards to the creation of the commentplates subpage. That is his entire reason for his vote of vandalism, at least, the only thing he had left after our prolonged argument yesterday. This assumption of bad faith goes against the entire spirit of the wiki, and is an egregious violation of the [[UDwiki:Vandalism]] policy, which states that everyone is to assume good faith unless there are extenuating circumstances. 
:I present to you here that no one has been able to demonstrate even an iota of bad faith in my contributions on this issue. I have obeyed the rules and guidelines of this wiki, and i have obeyed the intent on the arbitration ruling, though i believe it to be outright crimininal. I present all that i have said before in this post. That what i did was legal, it was done in good faith, and it was not a breach of the arbitration ruling by conndraka. I ask that the warning that was delivered be struck, and i am either banned in accordance with the arbitration page guidelines, or exonerated, as the innocent person i am. I ask for a full sysop vote on this issue. Either way, i wash my hands of this mess.

'''Vandalism. Oh wait, we don't vote on the vandal banning page. That would be insane.'''
Before I do rule, allow me a bit of exposition. First I would like to say that I'm disappointed in nearly everybody involved with this case. Its truly an instance of a conflict with no victors, no lessons, and no heroes. If I could I would petition god love each of you ''less'' for making me wade through the novella of material associated with this ruling. I'd like to point out that this is exactly what you get when you turn the arbitration page into a playground. It has been warped so unrecognizably beyond its original purpose that nothing short of a policy change, Kevan's intervention, or heaps of fire can fix it. A/A is a place for users to mutually settle edit conflicts through a neutral third party. It is '''not''' a place for you to argue about each other. It is '''not''' a place to settle grudges. And it is '''not''' a court of questionable jurisdiction and infinite powers where you can go to try and lynch each other. Arbitration is only supposed to work when both parties agree to an arbitrator. So what are we teaching people here? Don't agree to conflict resolution. Ever. Dig in your heels and snipe at each other until one of you gets vandal banned by a sysop driven over the brink of good sense. On to the ruling. I am grudgingly '''banning Grim for 24 hours''', as per the arbitration pages policy. He violated the arbitration ruling that he was foolish enough to accept, and no amount of rhetorical back flips will change that. I ''will not'' allow good faith to become a get out of jail free card for those with a silver tongue and questionable moral fiber. I would have preferred to negate Conndraka's ruling and send everybody on their way in this instance but the rules and precedents are clear. I take no pleasure in this, and I urge everybody to try to work together to find a more sane and reasonable way to deal with these conflicts. --[[User:Zaruthustra|Zaruthustra]]<sup>[[Moderation|Mod]]</sup> 08:03, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
