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.

Removed content from a group's page without permission. I don't know if his copyright claim is valid, but shouldn't he take it to arbies if he wants it removed? Linkthewindow  Talk  11:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Do you arbies work 24 hours a day or was this just coincidence :P?Seriously though, aren't there rules for things like these?--Thadeous Oakley 11:54, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it's just a coincidence. I'm no expert on the copyright area of wiki policy, but the way to do it is to get it removed by arbies, or just ask the group politely on their talk page. Just editing it out gets you here pretty quickly, as it's generally taken that non group members editing a group space=vandalism (unless in the most minor cases.) Linkthewindow  Talk  11:58, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

It will take a while (probably a week) to sort out through arbitration -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:59 29 December 2008 (BST)

I'm inclined to see this as a misunderstanding of page ownership rights this time. It's not clear that it was a group sub page (except for someone experienced in wiki policy/precedent), and could easily be mistaken for a community page detailing a battle between Umbrella Biohazard Containment Service and Umbrella Corp. -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:59 29 December 2008 (BST)

It's probably worth sticking a note up pointing out that it's not a community page. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:00, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

My problem with this page is that concerns our group (Umbrella) directly in a malicious way. The least I would like I to see is, as mentioned above, is have this page labeled POV for being misguiding, if the owner agrees to that or not.--Thadeous Oakley 12:32, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Group pages are often viewed as "misguided" by enemies. Please use arbitration to decide if it is misguided enough (ie. full of lies) to warrant such a label, or for the information to be taken down -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 12:38 29 December 2008 (BST)

The problem with this page is that may look like a community page to someone who isn't familiar with the wiki. Linkthewindow  Talk  13:00, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

The use of copyrighted material is technically forbidden on the UD wiki. There is policy regarding this. As well as, of course, like, laws and stuff... As far as I am aware, removal of copyrighted images is via the speedy deletions queue. Someone can't just waltz in and delete stuff willy nilly. Am I right? --WanYao 12:54, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Copyrighted images may fall under "fair use," but this isn't to do with images. On the topic at hand, I'm not even sure if this is copyrighted (but I'm not a lawyer...) Linkthewindow  Talk  12:57, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll save everyone the problem, and put our POV at the top. --Haliman - Talk 15:41, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Ok... I didn't do my homework...

Uhm... this isn't "copyright" infringement... By posting it to the wiki you're putting your stuff in the public domain. And, MisterGame is not a member of this group so, no, he has NO RIGHT to edit it. Will a sysop please rule on this???

Meanwhile, why don't you kids take your little fight to another sandbox. --WanYao 20:47, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

I'd just like to point out Sonny still has his DEM roster, despite the overwhelming support to have the original deleted. Because it was a sub page of his. Which this is a sub page of the UBCS. Precedent would say the UBCS page would be allowed to stay.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 16:04, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

WTF? Isn't that a deletions workaround??? --WanYao 20:42, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

At first, it was perceived as. But making somehting in a sub page of your user space is generally okay. As long as it isn't malicious or anything.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 20:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Let's get back on topic. Thadeous vandalized a page. --Haliman - Talk 20:57, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

It is partially on topic. He can't call for the original pages removal, because its a sub-page. Explaining things isn't quite off topic you know.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 21:04, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Touche. I'm just sick of him and Umbrella vandalizing my pages. Sorreh! --Haliman - Talk 21:06, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

'Tis okay, as my only real job here is to help.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 21:08, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

So what's going to happen now? --Haliman - Talk 21:21, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

We wait for the system operators to weigh in and make their decision, and any action after that will probably arbies related.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 21:26, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Boxy already did near the top. I agree with him. --– Nubis ^NWO 21:50, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

It was in the UBCS namespace, and Thadeous knew that. --Haliman - Talk 21:55, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

We can't be too sure. Thanks for adding the POV note, but I'll just say if he wants it removed, use A/A, and not just remove it in future. Linkthewindow  Talk  22:01, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't see how this list is any dfferent than the scores of hit lists maintained by scores of different groups? It has every right to exist, and any Arbitrator with half a clue will agree. No one gives a fuck about your little sandbox drama.... What I do give a fuck about is the fact that MisterGame vandalised the wiki. So can someone make a decision, one way or another, and then archive this? --WanYao 22:10, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

The difference is that MisterGame thinks that the list is copyrighted (rightly or not,) but as it's been stated a million times in other places, if he wants it removed, go to A/A. Otherwise it's vandalism. Linkthewindow  Talk  22:15, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Not vandalism - but it is pushing the boundaries, and similar instances between these groups in the future wont be looked on in such a favourable light. It wasn't clear that this was a group sub-page at the time, it could easily have been a main namespace page titled that way to indicate UBCS/Umbrella (UBCS vs Umbrella). I have seen no evidence that this material is copyrighted, and as it is going to take an extended discussion to determine this, it should not be gone into further on this page. Take it to arbies -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 23:40 29 December 2008 (BST)

Copyrighted?! LOL! Fail. --Haliman - Talk 03:41, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Edited a group's page without permission (changing the tinyurl to prophaganda against the group.) So far, only contribution. Linkthewindow  Talk  13:02, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Um yeah... changed this pages tinyurl forum link to one pointing to the Umbrella forum as opposed to the Umbrella UBCS forum of the original tinyurl link. The one it was changed to seems to point to the forum listed for the Umbrella Corporation as opposed to Umbrella Biohazard Containment Service -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 13:04 28 December 2008 (BST)

HAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS (talk | contribs | logs | block | IP Check | vndl data | discuss)

Obvious attempt to get me in shit for "impersonation" by one or more of J3D and Co. Hilarious for two reasons: firstly because the name isn't even quite the same as my signature and secondly because the last person to try this was Mattiator. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 06:16, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Thats not even a proper user. Try linking to the right person before you shit up the admin pages. And no, I don't mean linking to them in your sig.--CyberRead240 06:18, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

IP address is independent. This is hilarious for one reason: you will have to change your signature.--xoxo 06:34, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

So was Mattiator's attempt. Proxies are a wonderful tool. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 06:57, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Permbanned - obviously only created to impersonate an existing user's sig. Not funny at all, J3D -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 08:35 28 December 2008 (BST)

what behaviour by the user led you to believe this? I fail to see how it is obvious--CyberRead240 11:32, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't believe in coincidences like this. Why did you lol only minutes after this account's creation? Why did J3D find it so hilarious? Those are rhetorical questions, btw, that will answer your question quite succinctly, so quit shitting up admin pages -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:58 28 December 2008 (BST)

I'm not shitting up admin pages I am asking a legit question. I lold because I was lurking RC. Jed probably lold because it is funny when someone like CB is inconvenienced. Btw, dun care if u try to censor by saying your response is rhetorical, or telling me I can't ask you to clarify. I know what I am allowed to do. Regardless, it is obviously someone shit stirring, but I can assure you it wasn't anyone I know. I think you permabanned too soon, is all.--CyberRead240 13:10, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

You can only ask for people to explain the bleeding obvious so many times... and it's quite funny, but I don't remember anyone mentioning it being anyone you know. Says a lot to me, that does... -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 13:18 28 December 2008 (BST)

Oh, wait... bob did say it one of you guys. Oh well, your denial is... noted -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 13:59 28 December 2008 (BST)

Neither of you would have laughed if you knew just how doomed to failure your idea was. It didn't work the last time someone tried it - why would it work this time? Also, I'm not feeling inconvenienced whatsoever so I dunno where J3D's getting that idea from. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 13:30, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

It is interesting that the isp exchanges for the ip of this impersonator and that of another user on this wiki are within 7km of each other, indicating the two users are in the same area. For the Sysops: Look at the checkuser log of the last two ips that I checked and you'll see what I mean. Privacy dictates that I can't say any more than that..--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 14:30, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Is the vandal IP subject to privacy rights? I don't like dealing with this type of thing much. It's certainly not a proxy which actually gives us a general ability to announce that we know a certain group is behind it and its mostly an issue of working out how to proceed.--Karek^maps?! 14:49, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

We shouldn't release the specific information publicly, but we can still discuss in a general way, which accounts are involved. Like here -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 14:56 28 December 2008 (BST)

I don't believe there is anything which waives a vandal's right to privacy and we certainly cannot release the details of the other user involved. What I will say is that the ip of the vandal points to the same area as that of another user involved in this case which is rather suspicious.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 21:35, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

The issue is about posting IP addresses right? Well, since everyone that would be involved in making the misconduct decision or vandalism decision is a sysop and can see the logs why not just refer to the individual IPs by the time stamp/Sysop that checked it? In the event of multiple entries to the time stamp the one on the bottom (or oldest) becomes entry A, the one above it is entry B and so forth. Yes, this would require very careful reading, however, all of these issues should be carefully read. --– Nubis ^NWO 20:34, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

But legal.--CyberRead240 05:49, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Common sense is able to be brought into play here, so I wouldn't be so keen on acting all defensive. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 06:23, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

If you people are trying to claim it was me, firstly you can't prove anything so i don't care. And secondly you are entirely wrong, it wasn't me. Believe if you want. Oh and i didn't actually find it hilarious, it was a parody of what cb said...--xoxo 06:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, because trolling on administrative pages is certainly much better.--Karek^maps?! 06:22, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Discussion to talk -- Cheese 14:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Guess what This means boys and girls. We can has escalating him for puppet vandalism now?--Karek^maps?! 14:02, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

You certainly should can has, dunno whether enough sysops'll go for it or not though. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 02:15, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Posting a rather racist sentiment to his group page. His attempt at self-censorship only goes to show that he knows the offensiveness of the word. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 03:21, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

It's their page, I would suggest that anyone genuinely anyone offended by it (as opposed to just trying to get payback) would have a very good chance to get it removed via arbies. Not vandalism though -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 04:21 28 December 2008 (BST)

I'm almost positive this sort of thing has been ruled as vandalism in the past... only problem is it would have been so long ago that I doubt there are any records left of it. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 04:24, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

If you find one, I'll reconsider -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 04:26 28 December 2008 (BST)

You've spammed cocks in capital letters accross the majority of admin pages as well as assorted talk pages on the wiki, you've got to be kidding. Anyway we have no civility policy, so bl. Oh, and also that is a direct quote from in game graffiti (which you'd know if you bothered to read the context of the post) and as a wiki for the game i'd tend to say anything that is allowed in the game should be allowed on the wiki, with regards to language anyway.--xoxo 04:44, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't call it vandalism, but to be frank, I find niggers to be moar offensive than cocks. A cock could be subst'd for a male chicken, while niggers, well, you can't easily cover that one up. Would asking you nicely to remove the references of the word nigger work?-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 04:47, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't you just not read the page? I mean it's not like you'd read it anyway unless frivolous cases linked you to it...I'll talk to the other half of 2 Cool about removing it, in the meantime just don't read the propaganda section of the page :P --xoxo 04:50, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Too late for that. :D. But yeah, the only thing I really find offensive is niggers. The rest is fine and even made me laugh.

...Yes, the only reason I read it was because of this case too. It got you a page view though, right? Whether you decide to remove the bits or not, meh, it's someone else's problem. Just trying to tackle it now instead of later.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 04:53, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

If someone actually read it, came to my page and asked for it to be removed i would certainly consider it. If someone trawls my recent changes looking to get me warned then reports it without bothering to contact me first, i can't say i'm inclined to oblige.--xoxo 05:24, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

I personally don't give a rat's arse about the word; I know that there are those that do, however. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 05:38, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Same could be said for cocks, you do realise? --xoxo 06:35, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Don't try that cute shit. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 08:03, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Sadly the only real precedent is if it is a user name. This is idiocy in the highest order but probably not vandalism.--Karek^maps?! 10:07, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

What's the matter, Issy? Am I not being productive enough that you have to look really hard for something to complain about? Just because you can get a moron like Cheese to move them it doesn't mean you are right. But good job! --– Nubis ^NWO 03:14, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, I did say: I put them all under one because the reply is the same for all of them. The original requests are clearly in the history should someone decide they need to see them. Which you seemed to not have a problem with at that time. --– Nubis ^NWO 03:19, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. I'm just annoyed that even though he "got his way" he still is an asshole. --– Nubis ^NWO 19:59, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Not vandalism - this is a 2 week old group of move requests, that he treated as a single case (because they were all similar). Maybe not the right decision to deny the move request, but not impersonation as his editing of the cases didn't misrepresent your posts in any way, only condensed them -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 04:29 28 December 2008 (BST)

This reads to me like he knew the grounds for his Misconduct case against Boxy were false - therefore making it frivolous, which I believe is an VB-able offence. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 14:47, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

lal. read my reply over there, follow the simple instructions, then remove this case plz.--xoxo 14:48, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Like I said over there (it's worth repeating here simply because of how lazy some people are): nothing else you've written in that case changes the fact that you admitted you knew that Boxy's actions were within the rules, and that you were simply seeing whether you could get him in trouble for warning you. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 14:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll take that to mean you aren't playing stupid then (people see boxy's A/M case to understand all this shiz). I was warned on my talk page and A/VD before boxy had ruled on the case. At the time i recieved the warning it had 1 vandalism ruling and 1 not vandalism. Hence that A/M case was created when as far as i was aware boxy had committed misconduct. For someone who claims to be internet proficient you sure had trouble figuring that one out...--xoxo 14:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I saw that, but discarded it because it's simply too fucking nitpicky for words. Not even Iscariot (well... maybe him) would try to pull something like that. Sometimes sysops find it more efficient to leave the warning before posting about it on A/VB; if there had been a large gap between your warning and Boxy's comment on A/VB you might have had a snowball's chance in hell of pulling the case off, but there wasn't so you didn't. And your comment shows that you knew it. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 14:59, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

If by comment you mean 'it was worth a try' then yeah, i did know it then. that was 12 hours later. When i created the case it wasn't frivolous at all. --xoxo 15:01, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Bullshit. Pure and utter bullshit. "It was worth a try ;)" rather openly indicates that you knew the case was more than likely to fail - but you figured you'd give it a shot anyway just on the off-chance that it might have gotten Boxy punished. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 15:05, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

When i said "It was worth a try ;)" i clearly knew the case was going to fail, it's premise no longer existed. Also mate, a ;) generally means it's a joke, but whatever.--xoxo 15:10, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Like I said. Bullshit. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 15:11, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Err...which part of the post you just replied to was bullshit?? --xoxo 15:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

*sigh*, please tell me you're playing stupid. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 15:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

haha yeah that one was :P (see little face means i'm kidding/joking/whatever). Try looking at it this way: when i made the case (at the point when it should be judged as frivolous or not) boxy had misconducted by warning me for a case that was a split decision. Therefore my case was legitimate. Minutes later it was no longer relevant. At which point the creation of said case would have been frivolous. comprendé? --xoxo 15:28, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

It was still a shitty case, as you didn't give him enough time to post on A/VB. Once again, your post shows anyone with more than two brain cells that you knew how bad a case it was when you made it. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 15:35, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Not Vandaliam - Prior actions do not determine present motive. J3D has given a clear (in my mind, at least) explanation of what happened and I believe that Cyberbob is deliberately ignoring them in favour of calling "bullshit" from the top of every building. While I would love to warn him for being a pain in the arse, I can't reasonably call this vandalism.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 08:45, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Haha, J3D's explanation actually defies belief, despite it's "clarity". There is no way that he thought I would record warning on A/VD and then his talk page without making a ruling on A/VB in the very near future (less than 10 minutes)... the reason this is not vandalism is that A/M is the "appeals court" for A/VB, and as such, people who are found guilty on vb need to be allowed to appeal to the rest of the sysops to overrule, regardless of the incredulity of their claims -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:16 23 December 2008 (BST)

So is that a not vandalism vote then mr sysop?--CyberRead240 12:10, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

You are probably right but there is still a distinction, meaning that he had some vague basis for the case during those 10 minutes. I also agree that we should not warn people for going to A/M as that would defy the intended point of the page.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 21:45, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm not ignoring them, I'm disbelieving them due to their ridiculousness. Nobody splits hairs that finely within their own minds. Nobody. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 08:46, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

In a normal society I would agree with you; On this wiki, I'm not so sure......Either way, perhaps I spoke too harshly and I can see why you disbelieve him. Still, I maintain that this is Not Vandalism. --The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 21:45, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

And you've convinced me to weigh in with a vandalism. He's a sysop, more is expected of him. That includes actually knowing how to count, and actually having a modicum of common sense not necessarily always expected from other users. His promotion says he should think before reacting so assuming that's is not what he did seems very much ridiculous. If that's the only argument that can be made supporting it, as opposed to the one that shows bad faith, we've got a problem.--Karek^maps?! 10:48, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

This shouldn't even be an issue. If it's so obvious then just rule 'not misconduct' (which you all did) and archive, no big deal. As someone said, warning me for starting a (seemingly legitimate if somewhat hasty) misconduct case isn't a path i think we should go down. The great thing about misconduct (infact probably the only good thing about it) is if sysops are unanimous regarding a case it can be quickly dispatched without drama, unfortunately you seem to pursuing the drama because it just wasn't gonna generate itself :( --xoxo 11:06, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

You hung yourself.--Karek^maps?! 13:50, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Hagnat is more right than i ever realised, you people really don't understand what an off the cuff joke is. I've explained what happened entirely truthfully, yes i was hasty, yeah in hindsight it was stupid, but no, it wasn't vandalism. Anyhoo warn me if you want, it doesn't affect me really. As lame as this sounds i'm more concerned about the total miscarriage of justice..."I don't like this guy or the fact that he is a sysop - I will warn him", this case says a lot more about your fitness to be a sysop than mine...--xoxo 11:46, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Good god you suck as a sysop. You just admitted to putting another sysop (me) up for misconduct for an "off the cuff joke". I once again reiterate that someone that is given a warning on A/VB should be allowed to appeal to A/M, despite the weakness of their case... but damn... you're a sysop yourself!

Turn up your hearing aid grandpa.--xoxo 08:01, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

I completely agree with what you are saying, he is completely unsuitable as a Sysop. However, A/VB is not about deciding who is or is not a good sysop but is instead about dealing with vandalism. This is not the latter and I feel we cannot warm him simply for "Being a bad sysop". We do have a problem, but it isn't vandalism.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 13:57, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

That's a slightly different issue and while I do agree and believe his claims here show it that much more. I don't buy J3D's story so, while I don't really like ruling vandalism on something posted to A/M I really can't see this as anything but another in his long line of intentionally useless cases that he makes just because he doesn't like someone or something they did. I view this much the same as when they spammed A/VB with reports, he knows better and has been talked too about it in the past.--Karek^maps?! 14:13, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Removal of my comments from an admin page, the case was still in progress as it had not been acknowledged that Hagnat had misrepresented the result of the case. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 03:00, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

hum... about the first, sorry... sometimes i accidentaly press the mousepad in my notebook and it changes the location of where i am typing without me realizing... i still need to get used to this thing. And the second, i just had moved nubis case to his archive, there was nothing else to discuss since the ruling of that case were not going to change as much as you would like it to. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 03:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Did you, or did you not, misrepresent the result of the case against Nubis? Does a majority vote class as slightly? Not in the English language it doesn't, now go an change all references to Slightly Misconduct to Misconduct if you clearly are displaying the good faith you'd like everyone to believe.

Also, I don't care about your computing woes, as is proven elsewhere on this page, that is not a mitigating excuse. You are a user that understands what impersonation is, you are responsible for your edits and no-one else.

The misconduct case wasn't closed anyway, I still haven't got my warning unstruck. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 03:20, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I believe you have made 7 edits since the warning should not have been stuck, therefore by now that warning is no longer valid. The misconduct case was closed, most users believed that the case was small, but were split between not misconduct and misconduct with a slap in the wrist punishment. Therefore, slightly misconudct. And who are you to say when a case is over or not ? Who died and put you in charge of the wiki ? Shut the fuck up iscariot, and begone for our greater good. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 03:24, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see where "Slightly Misconduct" is a valid ruling. I was under the impression that the possible outcomes were misconduct or not. Could you direct me to the Administration page that deals with the verdict of Slightly Misconduct? --Pestolence^(talk) 03:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

You are missing something... the fact that there is nowhere in the wiki a rule or guideline that says which rulings should a misconduct reach. We sticked to misconduct and not misconduct because we were used to it... but there is no place that limit us to only these two options. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 03:42, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

So, will of the community and clarity isn't enough? And there is no we in this, youunilaterally decided to invent a classification.

You speak for the will of the community now? Should we put it to a vote to see if people would really mind getting a warning struck "early"? Your arrogance was amusing at first, but now it is frightening. --– Nubis ^NWO 13:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Aww, poor Hagnat, did you not read those wonderful boxes "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." I am responsible for my history, not you, not Nubis, Nubis did the wrong thing and that action should be undone. Then it is up to me to decide when I want my warning struck provided the criteria are met, not you, not Nubis. I have decided that I do not want my warning struck at this time. This is my prerogative. How am I meant to 'begone' when you won't allow me to work my way up the escalations tree?

You are AS responsible for keeping track of your history as the sysops are'. Not sure if you noticed that little word AS. It's a small word that changes the entire sentence. --– Nubis ^NWO 13:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

There's no such thing as slightly misconduct, it's posturing by you to protect a friend. The verdict was clear, majority vote in favour of misconduct. Your prattling aside, the history should show that in its summaries and archives, it should be shown without emotive qualifiers preceding it at your whim. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 03:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Hag is not my friend no matter what your twisted conspiracy theories tell you.--– Nubis ^NWO 13:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, it appears that Nubis committed misconduct, slight as it may or may not be. Does misconduct now carry no punishment but removal of donut privileges? Or is slightly misconduct now Orwellspeak for "not misconduct, but we'll pretend it was to keep the proles happy"? --Pestolence^(talk) 03:36, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, when a sysop bans a user unfairly they get banned for the same amount of time. So in this case, I guess I get my warning struck early, too? --– Nubis ^NWO 13:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

In theory that happens, it practice it doesn't. Take a look at that case where cheese banned bob, the ban was overturned, i took cheese to misconduct where it didn't pass.--xoxo 14:05, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

You took Cheese to misconduct over Cyberbob being banned and even Bob said he didn't think it should be a misconduct case. So you trying to stir up drama failed because the sysops (except Grim - surprise) realized that it wasn't bad faith just a hasty decision. You are a piece of work.--– Nubis ^NWO 15:04, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I've never taken bob's opinion into account when deciding if something is or isn't misconduct, i'm slightly embarrassed for you if you do. I wasn't trying to stir up drama, personally i thought it was an open/shut case. Banning is a serious action and i didn't feel it should be taken lightly.--xoxo 15:07, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Do you practice that little speech every night before you go to bed? You really need to work on it, you aren't up to Iscariot trolling level yet, but you can come close. I do like how you take your little buddies into consideration before you make a decision, but should it be someone you don't like then their opinion is an "embarrassment". What happened to your promise to "go slow" on A/VB and your no more VB drama for yourself? --– Nubis ^NWO 15:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I have gone slow on A/VB. I haven't ruled on any cases. If i see vandalism i bring it here, if vandalism is brought against me i defend it. I don't think that's what gnome was referring to when he asked me to go slow on a/vb. And you'd probably find it embarassing if people took my little buddies into account, it's called different opinions, you're allowed to have them.--xoxo 15:21, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Ok, now you are just being a tard. The warning is there to prevent users from misconducting sysops because they got banned because their vandal escalation were not right, and they should've got a warning instead of a ban. You have no control over wheter or your warning should or should'nt be removed.

Protecting a friend ? Weird... last time i checked, nubis was a goon, and apparently i want to see all goons burning on fire... last time i checked he asked for my demotion... last time i checked he was against most of the policies i tried to pass... i dont see nubis as a friend, rather a guy whom i tend to agree with occasionaly... anyway, let's wait for another sysop to drop by and give his ruling, right... i am going to hit the bed as i am tired of all the end-of-year work --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 03:42, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Apparently? I love the word apparently. Apparently Michael Jackson doesn't molest children. Do you see how apparently works in the English language?

I have no control over that do I not? What happened to sysops are expected to reverse a ban or warning if desired by the community? Oh, yeah, you ignore policy. Either that box is wrong (in which case I'm removing it for misleading users) or it's right and you need to toddle off and do some actual sysop duties and unstrike that warning. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 03:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

If a user is banned wrongly because of an outdated vandal history, its expected that the ban should be lifted, but no punishment for the sysop will be issued because of that mistake. That's the reason behind that warning, as one does not exclude the other. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 03:59, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

The first edit diff is nothing but an obvious mistake, and should never have been brought here.

In fact your second link shows you placing a comment that still seems to be on the page.

You wouldn't need to if you could concisely build a strong point without spending 90% of the time criticizing and threatening people without cause. That makes you a lot of enemies and devalues your contributions. More than that it's pretty obvious you had no desired result from that case other than to stir shit for Nubis in the manner of a semi-versed rules lawyer. The case was resolved and certainly was conclusive, even with the weakness of the punishment unless you can actually suggest something that meets the claimed crime committed. You're warning won't be re-struck because it would be immediately unstruck. This is my opinion on the case, it's also the opinion that was expressed by the sysops that did rule misconduct. Stop stirring shit without cause and maybe things will get done when you have more legitimate complaints. And again, this is not meant to be taken as a ruling, although it might give some view as to exactly how I would rule if I believed it was needed.--Karek^maps?! 09:18, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I've only once commented on the punishment I though Nubis should receive, and that was back in my opening statement. Do not attempt to paint me as some sort of hanging judge. However, what I do take offence to is Hagnat's continued mis-use of his sysop status to influence the perception of such events using the words in Nubis' official judgement and the summary on the archive link pages as slightly misconduct. Tell me, if a user on this page received an escalation as a result of a split decision, would he be able to campaign for his entry on vandal data to read slightly vandalism? Of course he wouldn't, and this is yet another examples of the precedents being ignored if you are a sysop. Sic Semper Grimmanis. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 06:16, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Attempting to rule on a Misconduct case as though he was a sysop. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 12:38, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Meh --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 12:56, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

fuck the rules amirite --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 12:58, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm torn. If I vote Vandalism it looks like I am being petty since he "voted" Misconduct. If I vote not vandalism it looks like we are saying that anyone can "rule" on cases. I'll just split the difference and ban him outright. --– Nubis ^NWO 13:43, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Nup. Surely there's some clause that says i can rule based on my opinion of the person that brought the case up?--xoxo 15:49, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I Bolded it to make a point that I felt the whole misconduct case should have been regarded as Vandalism I then went on to make that point in a way I felt pointed out that my "ruling" was a bit of a joke. If Bob can't spot such obvious hyperbole then thats his English teachers fault not mine! No-one but no-one is likely to mistake me for a Sysop as i have neither the time, the patience or the technical skills to be one. That said; I will happily take the warning for vandalism should it be felt required as after all these years with a clean slate i kinda feel left out. Not that i get a say but i would prefer it if Nubis were the one to rule... provided of course its not his previously suggested ruling. --Honestmistake 17:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Precedent was created here by Hagnat, and I quote "can say whatever he wants in his case. Unless the rest of the sysop agrees with his ruling (through inaction or verbal agreement) his words means nothing. And any sysop with half a mind will know not to count his ruling in the event of vote." Or are we having one rule for sysops and another for normal users? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 18:21, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

This has to stop. Claiming "precedent" because one sysop says something is stupid. Especially when it is someone like Hagnat. (At least pick someone more consistent like Karek or even geez, Grim) It's especially laughable when you look through the history at his other posts and can almost always find one where he reverses himself. Pick a better horse. --– Nubis ^NWO 04:01, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Strangely enough, this quote is from a case of misconduct against you for posting a ruling in another case of against you, and you claimed there are no rules that forbids sysops from voting in their own cases (common sense clearly says they can't, no need for a rule on that). A similar case was brought upon myself in may, and you asked for my demotion. Who is the inconsistent now ?

In a case against yourself, you do not contribute as a sysop but as a regular user (therefore your ruling weighted the same as honestmistake). The only difference between a sysop and a normal user in this case is that, through inaction of the rest of the adminsitration staff, the ruling of the first can become official. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 11:10, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I know where that quote is from. You voted misconduct on your own case and offered a light punishment (warning). That case was part of a larger situation in which you were accused of vote striking and ruling on VB cases to create precedent to use on another case against you. That was the main issue. You were trying to change a VB ruling to use in your misconduct case. Trying to set precedent on VB to apply to Misconduct is entirely different from defending yourself and bolding Not Misconduct. When a sysop tries to change the rules improperly for their own benefit they should be demoted. --– Nubis ^NWO 17:55, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Thats why i meh'ed this case. Honestmistake "ruling" will only be valid through inaction or verbal agreement... otherwise is just a user stating his opinion there. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 18:37, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

actually, honestmistake's opinion will never be accounted at all (cuz he is not a sysop, thus unable to make adminstrative actions). But he is still free to voice it. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 18:46, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

It's best to just unbold the mock ruling (anyone can do this), and move on. Please don't do it again Honest, it can become confusing when looking through the archives later, if all and sundry have bolded "rulings", especially in the case that they later become, or were in the past, sysops. I'll rule not vandalism, unless someone comes up with a clear president where this has been ruled against in the past -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 01:37 18 December 2008 (BST)

We used to have unclear presidents on this wiki? ;) --ZsL 02:31, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism. Here is a user getting voted Vandalism by Cheese because he warned a user on his talk page. That's impersonating a sysop. Here's the precedent.--– Nubis ^NWO 04:31, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Your precedence is from a user impersonating a sysop in another's talk page. This is a case where a user simply bolded his opinion (which incidently ressembled the way sysops rule) in a public page about a misconduct case... unlike the first case where the impersonaction could hold water, any attempt to impersonate a sysop in a misconduct discussion will easily be dismissed by the administration staff as we weighted our opinions to decide on a ruling. Thus, not vandalism --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 04:42, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

So you can impersonate sysops on Admin pages, but not on user pages? Well that sounds like a great rule! People's Commissar Nubis^{talk mod} 17:52, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

impersonating a sysop as in pretending to be part of the administration staff... any user pretending to be a sysop in admin pages will be quickly be noticed and dealt with, so no harm will be done and punishment unnecessary (unless the user keeps acting like a sysop, when intervention will then be needed). A user pretending to be a sysop in another user talk page, on the other hand, will only be noticed if another user spots the faker in action, and that can take several days or weeks, and by then harm will already have been done and punishment for such action will be necessary. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 18:23, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism, I thought we got rid of this guy? At least he wasn't doing it on A/VB amarite?--Karek^maps?! 09:50, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

"We've had this dispute before with most of the sysops saying the following; 'Bold a ruling, does not make'." Thats your comment from J3Ds misconduct case.... If thats true then surely that must apply both ways, I mean do you seriously think that anyone would have mistaken my comment for a genuine sysop ruling? Or are you in fact just making it up as you go along.... Show me the rule where it says only sysops can comment in bold and i will shut up and take a double escalation, show me where it says all rulings must be made in bold and all bolded comments will be regarded as rulings and i will take a third. Hell show me the bit where it says exactly why what i did was impersonation and i will stay off Admin pages for a month--Honestmistake 15:17, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Not bolding it doesn't make it a valid ruling, bolding it so that it looks like the standard convention for making a ruling however does show intent to mislead, something also known as Bad Faith. I hope that's not too confusing.--Karek^maps?! 19:06, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Just so everyone is aware i'm seriously ruling not vandalism now, based on the merits of the case, nothing to do with bob. lockbusters. --xoxo 15:25, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Not Vandalism - In the case Nubis linked above, the user in question purposely pretended to be a sysop in order to bully the other user into doing as he (Tomer) commanded. In this case, Honest gave his opinion on an admin page. I do not believe this was in bad-faith and the only effect it could possibly have on the result of the case is if whoever was adding up completely fucked up and had their brain off for the afternoon. -- Cheese 15:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Last time I checked, idiocy didn't count as an A/VB offense, but the other two clearly to (violation of page ownership guidelines. Meh, he posted a similar message on my talk page before. Linkthewindow  Talk  14:26, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I posted the idiocy thing because of all the signatures+timestamps he wrote on your talk page. I don't see that alone as vandalism. --Janus ^talk 14:29, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

A lot of dodgy edits and in the case of his borehamwood template edit a plain lie. But at least one vaguely helpful edit. IP check shows he's not a regular spammer. You've explained to him what he's doing wrong, and as such I'm willing to wait and see what his next edit is. Any repeat offence and he gets warned. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 14:37, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

The edit to the KOTA page is an edit to a group page that he is not a member of, and one to an archive and not in any way constructive. Such edits have been ruled vandalism this month on this page. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 14:46, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I'm sorry guys, and like he said, I'm not a regular spammer, and from now on, the information on any page that I edit will be good.

Actually Iscariot is right (Wow twice in a week). Misread it as a talk page, but as an archive page it it Vandalism and a such a warning. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 15:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Had I been in my normal vindictive mood I'd have made a new case for this edit, editing a user page with no apparent good faith. You can include this in the first warning or go for a second escalation, I'm not fussed, I must be ill or something. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 15:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm really sorry but if I am good for a month could I get the warning out of the system? I mean I've only been here for a week and I'm already in the system......--Jerrel Yokotory 15:20, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

It's not uncommon. I was taken to vandal banning 4 hours after logging on to the wiki. Some of our finest contributors have made edits considered vandalism. Make 250 edits and in a month the warning will be struck. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 15:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

  Don't alts used for vandalism get permabanned instantly? It's happened before. Linkthewindow  Talk  04:51, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

  The new alt has not been convicted of vandalism. It is not against policy to have multiple alts on this wiki. Also in order for an alt to be instantly perma-ed it must be demonstrated that the alt was created purely for vandalism or to subvert a current ban. Neither has happened in this case and even though I don't like the guy, he hasn't broken any rules by having this alt. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:57, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

No harm done, both edits reverted, both users already advised to stay away from each other group page... i dont see why we should punish them when their learnt their lesson. Besides, that awesome face i just got is just... awesome --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 23:43, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

A warning is not a punishment. It is to help us keep track of users prior behaviour. If they learn their lesson, then the warning will go away. If this continues, then we will be able to show the reason to take harsher measures on such vandalism. "I wont do it again" is all well and good, but shouldn't stop us recording these incidents (especially since it's only come from one side so far) on A/VD -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 04:42 12 December 2008 (BST)

A warning IS punishment since it serves as a bridge for the true punishment of the ban-hammer. Unlucky guy also admitted that his actions were against the rules and was willing to accept any punishment. Anywya, warn then if you want... this is such a small issue and they both already know better that i feel it wouldn't do harm to let it pass. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 10:42, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

You need to show bad faith in the attepmt, responding to what seems to have been provocation or not wanting to hear from someone on the wiki doesn't merit punishment on his part.--Karek^maps?! 10:51, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

"First of all, in order to prevent any arguments, both parties are forbidden from contacting the other on the wiki in any form for a period of 8 weeks from today. This is binding and if broken may result in vandal escalations.". I am not a wiki law expert but the above seems pretty clear to me.--Thadeous Oakley 11:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

There's a reason he said may. That reason is that we aren't bound by anything an arbiter's whim when it comes to whether or not an arbitration violation is grounds for vandal escalation. We have a higher standard here than simply breaking what amounts to a formal agreement between two users mediated by a third user. The standard of punishment requires that there is harm to someone somewhere, not just two users disliking each other enough that they refuse to communicate.--Karek^maps?! 12:44, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

To clarify; In this case to get me to rule vandalism you would need to show him to be harassing you, you haven't yet. At least not to a point where I believe involvement on our(sysop's/A/VB) part is justifiable, just ignore him.--Karek^maps?! 12:46, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
