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.



Spambots

Spambots are to be reported on this page. New reports should be added to the top. Reports may be purged after one week.

There were a bunch of spambit-looking account creations on the 17th, these are the live ones at present.

I'm reporting myself for vandalizing Karloth Vois' user page. I'm sure he won't mind, though. CITIZEN VI 23:07, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Not vandalism, as it's a bit of jokery between the two of you. Don't let it happen again, neh? Also, the banana is a better picture.-- SA 23:19, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

What does boot strapping mean in aussieland? Just checking.-- SA 06:44, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Same as. Implying they should just stop using government support and become financially and culturally sustainable. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 06:53, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Or implying that they should just get up and keep moving on in their lives until things are better.-- SA 06:58, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
...You serious? He even said it was racist in his vote and? --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 07:00, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
I could easily say something was racist and then say something not racist. Keep in mind I haven't actually said how I feel this case should be ruled as, only given out counter points to yours.-- SA 07:03, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm pretty clearly making an ironic joke from Sonny's comment in his vote: "If you don't vote for Rakuen then you're a racist." . You're dumb, DDR. Cyberbob  Talk  07:04, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

And yet so much more amazing than you. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 07:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Not vandalism - his vote is a sarcastic response to Sonny's "if you don't vote for Rakuen then you're a racist", just as Zombie slay3r's is -- boxy talkteh rulz 07:05 6 December 2009 (BST)

Not vandalism - see that whole wall of text below Jack Nicholson? It's all fucking stupid and best ignored for these cases. Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 19:37, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Not Vandalism Bring forward a case about Raukens "Promotion" bid? Oh dear. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:40, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

lol this double standard is amusing. he gets off coz he was making a joke yet at the time the cases against me were clear it was clear i didn't believe that the user was black and that i was also joking (regardless of how funny/unfunny you find either mine or bobs 'jokes'). you people are stoopid. xoxo 20:10, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Then again, you only brought one against cb, and not all the other people making racist jokes. We could easily consider this harassment you know. ;) -- SA 23:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
nah you were just saying NIGGERZ because NIGGERZ is edgy and therefore "funny". don't forget that one case where you got let off for saying negress either Cyberbob  Talk  02:09, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

For breaking signature policy by hiding his link in white coding rendering it invisible on most pages. SA already nicely asked him here (bottom) to change it. His response indicates unwillingness to work along.--Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 16:21, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism for the above post. Warned. -- Cheese 17:01, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
Vandalism For the above comment Specifiacally this [1]. Looks like he's been warned about the sig by SA, and has 7 days to change it as per policy. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 17:06, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
seven days.....seven days...! --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 17:38, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Srry about that code trouble --Umbrella-White.pngImthatguyUmbrella-White.png stole some retards signature 17:06, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Not Vandalism, he changed it when he knew it was against policy. It's an easy enough thing to forget to change the name links. I mean, it's obvious that he tried, just didn't manage to finish it up and didn't know he didn't. We talk with the users BEFORE ruling vandalism.-- SA 12:16, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Not Vandalism - Same thing happened to liberty, stole somebody's sig and forgot to have the actual link changed. I'm willing to believe that Imthatguy just forgot to change the actual link of the signature. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 02:44, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

This edit. Since Hagnat and Conndraka can use it as a catch all excuse, I will; breach of the wiki's terms of use. Threats of physical harm are illegal in the UK, where I and the server are, his last sentence clearly fits under this.

As much as I'm amused by internet tough guys posturing behind disposable aliases, our admin team cannot condone the wiki being used for illegal acts can they?

I wonder if my immediate suspect was clever enough to use a proxy...? -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 20:27, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

why am i named here like i would be against banning this vandal, when i banned Scinfaxi for a similar feat ? --People's Commissar Hagnat [talk] [wcdz] 16:34, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Checkuser did indeed show up no one of any interest. Lets see, abusing a user, a spam edit and then he knows to check VB to argue his case. Do I think any of his first 3 edits are in any way constuctive? Nope, so Perma--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:36, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Checking out the situation. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 01:15, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

The user actually seems to be the creator of the page. Guess he wants to delete it. --Janus talk 02:32, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Seeming to be the creator isn't enough for us to do what he wants and have the page deleted. We have no proof that he is and I'm not taking his word for it until he can prove it somehow. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 02:34, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Checkuser? :/ Or it'd be overusing your sysop powers? --Janus talk 02:43, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
No it wouldn't, but Rooster has already tried and since the leader of the group hasn't edited since May, there aren't any IP's that we can compare to. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 03:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Has anyone tried actually asking this guy what's up? Cyberbob  Talk  04:20, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes? Me? --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 04:21, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Ah, good. Carry on then. Cyberbob  Talk  04:38, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

He hasn't replied to my question but I think that's because he hasn't been back to read it. As for the edits, they are rational enough for me to thing that it isn't vandalism, but obviously we will keep them reverted until he can prove that they belong to him. Thoughts? --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 00:16, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

The choice of names doesn't fit with someone coming back, in good faith, to get rid of a group that they were actually the legitimate leader of.
