Verdict	Vandal Alt
Action taken	Permaban

Suspected alt of permabanned user User:AnonSantlerville. Anonsantlerville's works have been long creditted to a player called Jack Heins in the past, at leased by his enemy the Dead Bunnies, though I believe Callista Griffin has confirmed Jack as Anon once on IRC before. Either way, Checkuser logs reveal both IP's are in the same city in very much the same area and with the same internet provider. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 03:12, 28 September 2009 (BST)

In the same "general area", you say? Hmmmm, in-ter-es-ting. Cyberbob  Talk  03:19, 28 September 2009 (BST)

Don't get bitchey at me, boy, I didn't know Finis spent months of his life telling the wiki that Jed, Nallan and DDR were all confirmed to be alts of a "Buzz Killington" now, hmm? Furthermore, this is a totally different case at hand because the suspected original has already been permabanned so there is a possible and serious infraction at hand. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 03:23, 28 September 2009 (BST)

Verdict	Not Vandalism
Action taken	{{{2}}}

I've tried to be nice, I have. I've explained things slowly on Talk:Suggestions, I've helped newbies, I found DDR his precedents. I turn down an open and shut Misconduct case to demonstrate this new outlook of moving the wiki forward.

I try and work on a project in my user space and I'm assaulted by idiots. I went to the time of having the talk page protected so this could stay with a certain group of users until it's workable. I even spent time coding a notice for the top of the page with the relevant policy in it.

But, no....

Can anyone tell me how they've managed to read the project, picked up.... well the most pointless piece of minutiae there.... and manage to miss THE HUGE FUCKING NOTICE THAT STATES DON'T EDIT THIS PAGE UNLESS ASKED OR I WILL TAKE YOU TO A/VB?

I mean, is it deliberate? Would they prefer thousands of misconduct cases? Are they bored? Is that it?

Both of them, editing a user page without permission. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 00:20, 16 September 2009 (BST)

Shit, sorry. i seem to have missed that. I am desperately sorry, Iscariot, and hope you will accept my deepest apologies on the matter. Truth be told, I haven't really been that with it as of late. Once again, sorry.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 07:10, 16 September 2009 (BST)

Alright, now that I've gone back and looked at the page, I can kind of see why I did it, but it's still pretty blaring. I redirected in to it from Cyberbob's talk, after your edit, so I ended up not seeing the name, which I really should've looked at. I thought that the template at the top was a Discussion template. I can't seem to find an example now, but I recall a similar template being attached to discussions before. Anyway, I then skimmed through it, and saw cyberbob's comments at the bottom, mistakingly thinking that that was where I should comment. Once again, I accept that I made a horrific mistake, and am very sorry.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 07:21, 16 September 2009 (BST)

Not Vandalism - A good-faith mistake with a good-faith purpose- to help with something that was, at heart, very much like a policy discussion, enough to mistaken it as such. If they persisted then I would have ruled vandalism, but I think you really should have just removed the comments and warned them not to do it again on their talk pages before going to A/VB. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 16:03, 16 September 2009 (BST)

Behold the precedent you've just ignored. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 16:24, 16 September 2009 (BST)

Some retard coming onto a group page and claiming to be the leader of a strike and directly claiming responsibility for its success (and hence representing the group misleadingly) does not equal users trying give community input onto a page which has the talk page protected and should be in A/PD anyway. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 16:29, 16 September 2009 (BST)

It's not a group page, it's a user page. Have you read the policy, that I linked that states clearly that I can do whatever I want in my user space as those pages are my sole property? Your opinion of where I should put my projects is your own concern, the fact remains that my user page has been edited against my wishes, precedent shows this to be clear vandalism. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 17:32, 16 September 2009 (BST)

Nubis thought he was dealing with a group page, check the warning he gave the user. You linked no policy, because no policy says that editing a user subpage is clear-cut vandalism, it only states that the user has total control over what appears on their user subpages. You have the control, so delete it already, don't run to A/VB to punish people for trying to help out. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 17:46, 16 September 2009 (BST)

moved to talk page. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 10:37, 19 September 2009 (BST)

I'd also like to point out that that case was ruled on unanimously by Nubis, who at that time may well have been DCC.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 16:46, 16 September 2009 (BST)

Not vandalism - unwanted edits to owned pages are not automatically vandalism. Both of these were done in a good faith attempt to improve the page, and wiki as a whole. I notice that this is another example of Iscariot using namespace pages in other than the traditional sense. He is treating this User: page as a User_talk: page. It is not vandalism for someone to leave a constructive comment on such a page. The User: page ownership protection is there to make it clear that POV content is acceptable, and not to be removed simply because others don't like it. Not to enforce elitist rules about who may and may not contribute in a constructive manner to active discussions (unless a clear pattern is established, making it harrassment) -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 21:50 16 September 2009 (BST)

Wut? =/ This just gets even more retarded. Particularly since you were unbanned from the same IP as DCC then posted with a new IP a couple of minutes later. And judging by the time length between the posts, that would give enough time to swap to a proxy and back again. I'm quite willing to call bullshit on this especially since you say i haven't touched this shit in years. If so, why come back now? What prompted that?

That's not the drink, it's a result of having to deal with goons -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 21:34 10 September 2009 (BST)

Ok. I've investigated this using the checkuser logs and various IP hunter thingys and the only Nubis IP prior to this mess I found from 22nd November 2007 (incase someone else wants to check) matches with the location of the IP that was used today to post this case. The DCC IP's originate from a place several US states away from this location. However, I'm still not entirely convinced as this doesn't explain the unbanning from the DCC IP and it just in general smells funny to me. I may be wrong, I may be right but in either case this definitely needs sorted. -- Cheese 21:31, 10 September 2009 (BST)

unbanning from the DCC IP moment of weakness...-- #99 ^DCC 02:35, 11 September 2009 (BST)

If Nubis has indeed been inactive since 2007, then I believe we have a policy that states what should be done in relation to the sysop status. As for this case, I have posted a bunch of evidence here that shows all of the actions that DCC took while in control of Nubis's account (not counting impersonation). Effectively, the easiest solution would be to keep Nubis demoted due to inactivity and perma-ban DCC and is IP for impersonation and hacking. That follows the idea of looking for the good in the case, and stops any potential problems from occurring in the future. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 22:50, 10 September 2009 (BST)

Nubis was active in 2008 - he changed his user page to the DHPD page and pissed people off. I had a week ban in April. I would think one of the Mensa applicant Sysops at the time would have noticed if his name came up when they banned me.... That puts a hole in the theory right there.-- #99 ^DCC 22:50, 13 September 2009 (BST)

^Agreed. It's obvious that DCC is still using Nubis's account, in an attempt to cause as much shit as he can.--Thadeous Oakley 23:37, 10 September 2009 (BST)

I blanked a talk page and made a ridiculous claim that you are all supporting. But it's ok DDR you take out your impotent fury on me. there there baby ... does that make you feel like a big man? -- #99 ^DCC 18:56, 11 September 2009 (BST)

The stikes done by Nubis have been undone, and a new warning added to A/VD -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 03:04 12 September 2009 (BST)

Whoa, whoa, whoa. If this case doesn't start to entail all of his previous vandalism counts and such done whilst supposedly under the control of Nubis' account, I won't know what you guys are thinking. I'd like to have DCC brought forward for all the counts of multi-voting and other infractions (ruled on and punished seperately), and a punishment apply as per the guideline's vandal escalation system. If need be, I'll put forward a seperate case. I'm busy right now so I'll come back later with links, depending on how the sysops view this proposal by the time I return. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 04:24, 12 September 2009 (BST)

That second sentence is one of the most awkward things I've ever read. Just saying. Cyberbob  Talk  05:14, 12 September 2009 (BST)

The question, though, is do you agree that DCC should be escalated for multivoting? I submit these two cases for now... --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 14:15, 12 September 2009 (BST)

Yes I do, but only once. I also think her current escalations should be re-struck as she has met the requirements for having it done for each and every one of them. The identity of the person that did the striking is irrelevant - yes it is Misconduct on Nubis' part but it changes nothing about the number of edits DCC made. Cyberbob  Talk  14:41, 12 September 2009 (BST)

It's only misconduct if I didn't have the edits as proven by the lovely Iscariot's A/M case against Nubs. -- #99 ^DCC 17:23, 12 September 2009 (BST)

According to DCC's vandal data and your contributions, you wouldn't have had the edits required by the time that you de-escalated them on yourself. You could have had one de-escalation, which would have occured after the time you de-escalated them. However, since the two de-escalations came when you were impersonating Nubis, it should be considered vandalism, which makes the de-escalation null and void, and should actually increase your warnings. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 21:20, 25 September 2009 (BST)

Shitting up admin pages.--Nallan (Talk) 06:47, 6 September 2009 (BST)

This case is a supreme irony and possibly vandalism in of itself. Cyberbob  Talk  06:52, 6 September 2009 (BST)

Not only was the comment irrelevant, frivolous and inflammatory... but after I moved it to the Talk page, which seemed to be the appropriate thing to do with such completely counterproductive "commentary", cyberbob actually undid that edit. IMNSHO definately an edit not in the interest of improving the wiki and certainly shitting up the admin page. --WanYao 07:06, 6 September 2009 (BST)

You know what? Can a 3rd party file an Arbitration case... To force two other parties to stop shitting up Admin pages and just generally being asshats? Seriously. In best interests of the wiki, Cyberbob not file any further vandalism cases against the 2 Cool clique, and that the 2 Cool clique should not file any more fucking Vandalism or Misconduct cases against Cyberbob. Leave the filing of such cases up to others. Because at this point I don't think either party can be trusted to be objective about this. I don't care if they are, in fact, attempting to be as objective as possible -- they will never have the appearance of objectivity, and I believe that they will never have the reality of objectivity, either. And in the meantime this feud is needlessly shitting up the Admin pages and causing pointless drama.

So... Do we have a deal? You guys want to step up and take the opportunity to start acting like adults? And voluntarily accept this restriction? --WanYao 08:55, 6 September 2009 (BST)

Verdict	Not Vandalism
Action taken	None Required

For repeatedly submitting petty cases to A/VB. This report is specifically motivated by the report against J3D below -- which just the latest in a string of mostly petty cases made against j3d and his group of friends. While some of the actions/reprots are certainly legitimate, taken as a whole they represent an obviously personal agenda. And the utter frivolity of last case in particular takes it to point of, if not out-and-out harassment, definately a case of bad faith shitting up an admin page. --WanYao 06:37, 6 September 2009 (BST)

I can see a soft warning coming on soon, but not vandalism yet -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:50 6 September 2009 (BST)

Soft Warning - I see little difference with what Bob does to J3D as what the latter does to us sysops. While J3D does it out of bitterness (or 'for the lulz' as he would probably claim), I don't approve of Bob using contentious and borderline cases via the A/VB system to push out the users that he has personal conflicts with. Without solid evidence towards long term harassment (which I'm not obliged to find myself because I don't think it exists thus far), there is nothing here that requires more than a soft warning at this point. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 13:16, 6 September 2009 (BST)

Not Vandalism Bob has every right to post a case on any edit that he sees as "bad faith". How can you claim that users can submit A/M cases whenever they want (even on things not using sysop powers) but Bob can't report anything that he sees as bad faith? Perhaps, if the "guidelines" on A/VB said that you have to post on the user's talk page before making a case these things wouldn't happen. But since that isn't really part of the policy you can't punish him for making cases unti you are ready to bring a harassment case against him. And with these two more than likely both would go down for it.--– Nubis ^NWO 19:40, 6 September 2009 (BST)

"Bob has every right to post a case on any edit that he sees as "bad faith"." Except when I post a case, it's vandalism. Is that right? Double standard much?--Nallan (Talk) 22:23, 6 September 2009 (BST)

I'll type this slow so you can understand. Your case is that he shat up a page by posting hahah on it while you are shitting up the page by posting something that can not be seen as a bad faith edit. Your edit is clearly just to cause drama because there are TONS of other pages that bob posted hahaha on that you didn't report. So get off the fucking cross.--– Nubis ^NWO 23:47, 7 September 2009 (BST)

I don't think anybody could reasonably argue that the use of the word "negress" in this way is anything but racist. Cyberbob  Talk  06:28, 6 September 2009 (BST)

Actually i will argue. Negress is the female version of negro, akin to jewess. While some people may find those words offensive they are not intrinsically racist like one might argue "nigger" is. --xoxo 06:31, 6 September 2009 (BST)

I know exactly what it is the female version of. The fact that you used a racial term as an insult is all that is relevant here - oh and by the way the word "jewess" is pretty fucking racist. Cyberbob  Talk  06:33, 6 September 2009 (BST)

Some find it racist, some don't. It is not even close to universally accepted as racist as "nigger". And i wasn't calling hungnut that as an insult, merely a term of endearment.--xoxo 06:35, 6 September 2009 (BST)

Hmmmmno don't think that's going to fly. Cyberbob  Talk  06:37, 6 September 2009 (BST)

In Hagnats language, Negro, or Negress, means close friend and can also mean "person of Individual Skin Colour". In his country that word is used as the polite way of describing someone who is dear to them, regardless of colour. It is "Negra" that means black person.--CyberRead240 06:38, 6 September 2009 (BST)

here is an example of the word Negro being used as the colour Black as well, another common use in the Spanish language--CyberRead240 06:48, 6 September 2009 (BST)

You know full well i don't, but the cases where i was escalated for use of the words "nigger" and "african american" are no where near as bad as that, and since you thought they were vandalism i can only assume...well....sysop bias...--xoxo 00:05, 12 September 2009 (BST)

Not Vandalism - I'm not going to vote vandalism to every joking use (or variation) of the word "nigger", and pulling him up for every one of its uses like a nazi isn't looking good for you Bob, particularly after Boxy's link above demonstrating how you use it to demonstrate petty personal examples yourself. I know the contexts of that and this are different, but unlike his two last escalations where J3D spouted it out in bold on a highly viewed admin page (rather than actually voting as is A/PM's use), or the below example where Read defamed Australian Indigenous tribesmen as being offensive, uncultured thieves, this is just a racist joke in its smallest form. Poor form, simply ignore it as such. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 13:03, 6 September 2009 (BST)

For creating a metric shitton of stupid personal cases against people over the past year. This has been ruled Not Vandalism before based on a supposed inability to prove a pattern, but I feel the torrent of cases we have seen from him over the last few days finish the job more than sufficiently. I can link to them all if I must but I'd say that pretty much everyone in a position to rule on this knows about the cases I'm referring to. Cyberbob  Talk  04:43, 5 September 2009 (BST)

This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this and this are what I was able to come up with from a quick skim. Also countless attempts to threaten sysops with misconduct cases over completely useless bullshit (example). Cyberbob  Talk  17:20, 5 September 2009 (BST)

See the talk page Cyberbob  Talk  02:26, 6 September 2009 (BST)

eh. escalate me for this if y'all want, can't say i care at all. Didn't have time to thoroughly look at all links (just gave em a quick skim ;) ) but it seems while they are minor, they are also valid concerns (excluding drunk ddr one). People should be allowed to bring cases if they believe they are vandalism, even if nobody else does. Warning me or banning me or wahtever won't change that attitude.--xoxo 04:02, 6 September 2009 (BST)

Indeed they should - for the most part. Sometimes it gets to the point where it becomes obvious that the only reason a person thinks that something is vandalism is because they personally dislike the other person. I've been guilty of this myself on occasion but I've tried not to make a habit of it - whereas you practically get off on it. Cyberbob  Talk  06:31, 6 September 2009 (BST)

Not practically. And maybe i just hold you and nubis to a higher standard than a user who has been here a month, some might consider that a good thing...--xoxo 06:32, 6 September 2009 (BST)

Yeah i came on the keyboard last time i made a misconduct case, so fucking hot.--xoxo 06:36, 6 September 2009 (BST)

See talk page

I'm not going to vandal ban people for misconduct cases (barring complete nonsense), it is like the court of appeal, and users need to be free to appeal sysop decisions there, even if it becomes extremely tiring... however this rash of VB cases, back and forth is likely to end in soft warnings, or more, very soon -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:41 6 September 2009 (BST)

Vandalism - I support the questioning of our sysops via A/VB and A/M completely, but J3D has persisted in a manor which has simply served as taking up our time with cases that are not only petty, but he doesn't even bother bringing them in an appropriate or workable manor. Here he spends more time defending himself for bringing said case, whilst here he just leaps on one legitimate case with a stupid, one-sentence reason which doesn't give the background to the misconduct in question. Approaching a case with language like this is also nothing to be proud of. Cases like this deflate the misconduct in question entirely. And here is a demonstration of him going through with cases before actually reading the simple details, as was this. I like users that question our actions, but J3D seems to just want to be the first one to put forward the case without any care for its result... At leased Iscariot tried... --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 13:36, 6 September 2009 (BST)

I'd vote this Vandalism, too, for the reasons that DDR gave. However, since I seem to be a personal favorite I think that makes me less objective and will withhold my vote for now.--– Nubis ^NWO 19:35, 6 September 2009 (BST)

I rule Not vandalism, due to the fact that J3D has been warned before for shitting up admin pages, and this latest one (the lame Misconduct one about Nubis banning himself) has been shown to have some support in concept. Unless other sysops vote, I'm call this a tie and NV next time I come through -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:27 8 September 2009 (BST)

A tie? You do realise I can vote, right? (Also surely the fact that he's been warned before is a point against him?) Cyberbob  Talk  11:39, 8 September 2009 (BST)

Well vote if you're going to then, or get off the pot :p
He's been warned before for shitting up admin pages, and some of those you linked to have probably already been taken into account for previous warnings -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:45 8 September 2009 (BST)

Fine then - Vandalism. As for the cases, warnings don't just magically wipe the record clean and he was ruled Not Vandalism the last time a case actually about harassment (not just shitting up, sustained harassment) was made besides. Cyberbob  Talk  11:48, 8 September 2009 (BST)

Bob show me some precedent of people voting on cases they haven't brought, if you don't i'll assume you don't have any and make more "petty cases" against you.--xoxo 07:44, 9 September 2009 (BST)

Ohh, you meant cases they did bring. Why didn't you just say so? I don't even need to cite precedence for that one (even though there's plenty), you silly billy. It's stated outright in the guidelines:

When a User May be Warned or Banned

Furthermore, system operators are specifically given the ability to both report and warn/ban a user.

I've been on this wiki for over 2 years, and outside of open and shut cases, or when the user is on a vandalism spree andneeds a ban to stop them i can't recall ever seeing a sysop ruling on a case they created. Certainly not in the instance where there is at least one op voting not vandal and one voting yes vandal. I would love to see some precedent here so that i don't have to create another misconduct case, but since you don't seem to be able to provide any bob i can only assume there is none...--xoxo 03:25, 11 September 2009 (BST)
