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.

Verdict {{{1}}}
Action taken {{{2}}}

I'm submitting Lelouch here for continued spamming of A/D/S with these with intent to either troll, confuse, annoy, or make some sort of point. I don't know which is the purpose and I don't care, he had his vote below this one struck, accepted it and is continuing to do it on another vote. It isn't up to users like Red Hawk One or ZS to have to translate them for our convenience. Besides all other perpetrators, Lelouch is by far the worst and the most persistent in said annoying garbage so I'm targeting him first. Hopefully this can go through and render the policy useless as we may rule via precedence. --

As I said before, at least the rest of us were using an alphabet which allows us to generally infer the meaning of the bolded word. That, and I still don't see the point in me doing it from the start. Vandalism.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 00:51, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

How is that a bad faith edit, I ask? I meant my vote. The guidelines recommend you ask someone on their talk page before you take them to A/VB, and for good reason; if I'd had known that you guys were getting this upset about it, I would have stopped. Why couldn't you just ask me there instead of automatically assuming that I was trying to damage the wiki?

You thought us having to go to A/D/S every day and pick out the 2 or 3 not-english-to-annoy votes and have to strike them out, then wait for more to come, wouldn't make us upset? -- 01:23, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Not really. It wouldn't annoy me, anyway. I've always figured that if I started crossing the line, someone would let me know so I could back off. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 01:29, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
I would like to take this opportunity to say, by the way, that I'm sorry it made trouble for any of you. Not like teary-eye sorry, mind you, just a bit unhappy that it caused so many problems. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 01:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Fair enough, although being frank, imo you should have been able to see the annoyance that SA created with that one vote and had the brains not to join in with the other monkeys doing it. -- 08:35, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

You're "talking it out with you" was the box and I striking (I did it more properly! :B) your initial japanese vote, and box saying something about it. You voted in the exact same way on the very next submission, entirely ignoring what box said, so you were brought here. Your talk page was ignored in the process because something was already said to you. And DDR has a point, it's generally not a good idea to follow my examples. :c -- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 09:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Verdict Vandalism
Action taken Week ban

[1] For posting on an administration page which is in clear violation of an arbitration ruling here. He has been warned before about posting on administrative topics that do not relate to him. Thoughts? -- 

Emot-argh.gif 01:07, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

The thing is (I was just discussing this in two convos) Misconduct is supposed to encourage community input, and knowing Boxy, this was more an oversight in the ruling than a deliberate attempt at forcing him out. However, I guess breaking the ruling is breaking the ruling... -- 01:11, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Misconduct is the sysops only equivalent of A/VB. Community input there is more of a privilege, if people abuse it, it can be taken away. So in some ways it's like asking the community to comment there, though Thad's privs have already taken away by box, with the arbies ruling. Though, with the way some people treat the page (like it's a fucking community playground), it could be confusing to know if it's open for discussion to him. He still broke the rules imo, but maybe a soft warning this time, as reasons I stated above? Also, I'm exempt from A/M for this because I'm not ruling. :P -- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 01:24, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I think Boxy is in the best position to determine whether or not this is breaking his ruling; I'm leaning towards Not Vandalism myself but I don't know whether Boxy counts Misconduct as one of the exempted pages. Cyberbob  Talk  02:12, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism - Misconduct isn't an admin page that requires ordinary user's input (it's not a vote like A/D or A/D/S), so it's a clear violation of the arbies ruling. Given that he's repeatedly done similar here, and been let off until a week or two ago, I'm not inclined to give him any more freebies, despite the fact that this will mean a week ban -- boxy talk • teh rulz 05:01 17 December 2009 (BST)

Given Boxy's confirmation on his own arbies ruling, I second the Vandalism and the ban. --

Can this please stop? This entire vandalism for the "lulz" is getting out of control. We can't be expected to determine whether these edits are unwanted or not, or if the vandalized users mind it or not. Set a precedent please to prevent needless confusion. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 00:03, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

S'cool, it's not like we are in a hurry, it's just the easiest way to get closure on the case. -- 00:58, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Hell, yeah, please confirm. Then explain why we shouldn't escalate the lot of you for shitting up admin pages with this sort of crap. If "Nanners" wanted his page changed without this crap, he should have done it himself, FFS. Fucking circle jerk, in-joke crap, designed to "catch teh n00b" and show up the wiki bureaucracy. Meh. Vandalism -- boxy talk • teh rulz 03:28 13 December 2009 (BST)

Just saying, the admin pages wouldn't be getting spammed up with this kinda stuff if Thad kept his nose out of other peoples business. Also as i understand it, he isn't allowed to post on admin pages unless the said admin action relates to him. As this edit neither was made by him or effected him, i think hes in violation of an Arby. Just saying. -- Emot-argh.gif 04:35, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
He's allowed to bring cases, so he's an involved party. And Box, it wasn't to "catch teh n00b", it was to have some fun on the wiki.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 05:08, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
It's not fun for the rest of us, having to decide what's actually going on with your in-jokes... and I guess that's half the fun of it for you. So don't be surprised if admin is not amused -- boxy talk • teh rulz 06:05 13 December 2009 (BST)
You wouldn't have to deal with it if people weren't so hasty. :( -- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 06:09, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
But that is just it, as the vandalism isn't on any of Thads pages, and it isn't someone making multiple edits and trying to wreck the wiki (ie: 3 edit rule) it would seem to me that he shouldn't be allowed to bring cases like this up, if there was a problem then Banana/Surgeon General would have brought it up here himself and complained that his page had been vandalized, instead you have Thad there bringing up a vandal case on someone who made said edits "as a joke" and thus added more work to the admins. I could see Thad bringing the vandal case in good nature so Banana/Surgeon doesn't have to, however given the numerous comedic vandal actions over the past few days, I think Thad should stick his nose somewhere else and stop reporting it all, since it doesn't effect him. If the person makes more then 2-3 edits then yes he should report him, but a single edit....no. He should just keep his nose out of others business, and stay off the Admin pages. -- Emot-argh.gif 19:24, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Yep, it's pretty clear that Nanners doesn't care about the edits. Rest in peace! --Karloth Vois ¯\(°_o)/¯ 20:04, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I both have no idea who this chap is, nor do I care to know him. He is a disgrace to this wiki and Urban Dead in general, and if I had my way, I'd ban him without trepidation. Alas, I can only hope that this fellow is sentenced to the full extent of Wiki law without hesitation, for, if even the own sanctity of our user page is not a safe haven, what do we have left? --Banana reads Scoundrell for all of Yesterday's News, Today! 05:17, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

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

For breaking the arbitration clause listed here, specifically point two. This happened here. The edit summary seems to be a mess due coding though so I'll explain, I changed Mark Conway, a level 6 emo to Mark Conway, a level 18 emo to reflect current reality. SA reverted that edit. This kind of nonsense is exactly what caused the arbitration case in the first place, and the ruling was deemed to prevent this. I highly, highly doubt that Orangegaf will see my edit as unwanted (or is wiki-breaking in any way). --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 14:57, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Thad... It has been explicitly noted that User: and User talk: pages are the sole property of that particular user - Iono how this will turn out, so I'll just leave this here. --Haliman - Talk 15:40, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry, did Orangegaf undo my edit? No, he didn't. This isn't about user pages, this is about SA breaking the arb ruling by changing my edit. The fact that's happened on a user page is unimportant, because of the trivial nature of my edit. Like, recently DDR edited my userpage, he fixed a minor grammar issue; I don't expect someone to undo that edit or drag DDR to vandalism for something that minor. My edit was not bad-faith, not unwanted, and not wiki-breaking like mentioned in arb ruling. I'm not contesting the guidelines, Hal but SA is contesting my edit, which he isn't suppose to.--Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 15:51, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I could see arguments for both sides, to be honest. On the one hand your edit wasn't "something that seriously breaks the wiki" by any stretch, but on the other user pages are really supposed to be offlimits unless the owner has given their express permission so I can see the potential for good faith on SA's part. Your argument regarding the lack of a reversion by Orange doesn't hold up, by the way - all of 5 minutes elapsed in between your edit and SA's.
Going with Not Vandalism on this one - the "trivial nature" of the edit doesn't make it any more acceptable without permission from Orange. Cyberbob  Talk  17:45, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

You hear that, DDR? Unacceptable!--Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 18:36, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Seriously, SA should have known much better than this. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 18:36, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
You should know better than to edit others user pages without their permission. Another rules happy user could have reverted your edit and dragged you to A/VB for the hell of it. I didn't for a reason. Because, you know, I may not like you, but I can give you a bit of a break. But fine, if you want to be a cunt be my guest. Also, in the arbies ruling, the only thing about User pages boxy says is how we can't edit anything in each others name spaces. Also, plz be not actin' liek a petulant child plz. You illiterate fuck.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 22:04, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
lol u mad? Really, you're cursing quite allot at me eh? I think you're the one, would should take a break. And your arguments hit no ground. The edit in question is purely trivial, and it wouldn't get me escalated. Or would you be the first one in line to rule vandalism should I drag DDR in here for this edit? I don't think so. Also in case you couldn't read;
No editing of each others comments on pages, including other people's talk pages, except something that seriously breaks the wiki.
You tampered with my edit. This while my edit is not disrupting the wiki in any shape or form. I was merely being helpful, and I am 99% certain Orangegaf wouldn't have mind, and 100% that he wouldn't drag me to A/VB for it. Also, if you didn't undo it I doubt anyone else would have. But oh no, you had to settle it differently. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 23:39, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
You doubt. You don't know. Just like I didn't know if I'd get a warning out of this, but I decided to be nice and remove the edit to be sure, because out of the two of us, who is facing the harsher punishment over a ban? Sure, it's unlikely that'd you'd get banned for the edit, but I'm not always an asshole. Gaf will now notice the edit in question and still make the change, since it's been brought to his attention.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 23:48, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Oh, so I'm suppose to thank you now too? That's a class act you got there, SA. And forget that 0.01% doubt, I knew he didn't mind, just like DDR doesn't expect me to actually drag him to A/VB, or better yet, actually getting escalated. You're undo was completely and utterly unnecessary, and if you thought back for a sec you could have known that this undo wouldn't be appreciated because of regrettably long drama history we have. Also in case people didn't knew; I have been laughing with Orangegaf on Umbrella Corp forums since 2008.--Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 23:58, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
I wasn't looking for a thank you specifically because of the reasons you mentioned. But I did think you would have been the bigger man and let it go. Like I said, childish.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 00:08, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Childish? I thought I was an illiterate fuck, a cunt, a petulant child ^^^. Want a tip? Next time you call someone else childish make sure you got your own emotions under control. I do not claim to be mature (does that word even has a single meaning?), but you're not in position to question my maturity without coming off as a hypocrite. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 00:20, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
My emotions are pretty in check, it's yours that look like they're going out of control. Screaming bias and wrongful rulings and all. And I've called you illiterate, yes, but I also called you a petulant child, which would also be calling you childish, only in less words. It's a known fact I communicate by cursing and name calling, so that doesn't show my emotions are running wild. But yes, keep it up, it's not helping your vendetta at all if you haven't noticed.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 00:29, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Now you're down to the level of "NO U". I haven't screamed bias nor wrongful rulings, don't make it try spin it like I did. Because that wouldn't be very honest of you SA. While I disagree with Bob, I can kinda see where he's going with this and at least understand his reasoning. Misanthropy doesn't seem to have full knowledge of the past events, and that's why I deem his ruling incomplete, not biased. And I haven't done this out a vendetta, which you just keep on implying, if you take it personal than that's your problem not mine. Now goodnight. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 00:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Not vandalism - although a trivial change, it was made where it shouldn't have been. Reversion was a better move than the original edit was. For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee 18:49, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

You don't know what your talking about. This isn't about that, it's about the arb case. If it was someone else than SA I wouldn't have made this case.--Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 21:40, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Which goes to show how petty and harassive this case is.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 22:05, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Don't victimize yourself so hard, this isn't personal it's about arbitration you broke. Go bang your head a couple of times (or whatever you do to unwind) and come back when you're calmed down. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 23:39, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
The fact that you're singling out the person who made the reversion and don't care about the reversion itself makes me want to vote not vandalism twice. You done a bad. Someone, who happened to be SA, undid your bad. I'd have done the same myself if I'd seen it. If you wouldn't have taken me, or anyone else, to VB for it, then damn skip I ain't voting against SA for it. Also I lean against your favour for spelling a lot wrong a whole walrus of times. Also also, I looked at the arbie, by the way. I'm not as incompetent as my fine ass makes me look. I consider unwarranted edits of others' user spaces to be "breaking the wiki", given that they go against the basic precepts of being a nice dude and not toying with others' personal areas. Don't make me draw dicks in your space. I draw BIG dicks. :P For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee 02:25, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

As Cyberbob, Thad and SA are in the right in their respective actions, and hence this is Not Vandalism. It isn't a matter of 'which edit is more wrong' because they are both right (until Orange specifies differently) and neither is vandalism. --

23:25, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I agree, but again, I didn't drag SA in here for undoing my edit, I dragged him in for breaking the arb ruling. I get the feeling allot of you are ruling (Misanthropy specifically) on the edit in question, rather than the arbitration ruling. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 23:42, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Let's see:
  • - No editing of each others User: pages (including talk and sub pages), excluding admin notices which should remain entirely "professional" (ie. no added, derogatory commentary).
  • - No editing of each others comments on pages, including other people's talk pages, except something that seriously breaks the wiki.
  • - No enforcing other people's talk page rules (unless specifically given such rights by the user who owns the talk page) in regard to each other.
  • - MisterGame is not to contribute to admin pages that don't ask for community input unless he is an involved party (the talk pages are still open to comment though).

It's a nooby Valkyrie, probably doing something FOR zoomi, but messing up because of the newbishness. It's fine if you want to think it's zoomi out of habit, but I'm pretty positive it's not her.-- SA 23:16, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
I never did think it was her. But even what you explained above is still bad faith- and fucking up at it. DanceDanceRevolution (Talk | Contribs) 23:22, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
It's not bad faith, people can edit for anyone, we have no rules against one user editing for another, with their permission of course, if we can identify that they are editing for another user. We can't identify it, so right now it looks more just like a dumb ass newbie trying to edit and failing. The only reason people are even considering it vandalism is because LV is associated with it.-- SA 23:34, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
To the contrary, I never cited the Valkyries. The point is, if a perma-banned user is going to be getting a friend to do 'good' things on the wiki solely for said banned user's sake, well, you might as well make sure you aren't asking help from someone who wipes pages in the process.

04:56, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't exactly have to be helpful, just contributory without being vandalism. And since "We try, for the most part, to attempt to prevent the vandalism from happening, rather than punish interlopers", I think a perma ban is harsh for someone who is trying to edit, although failing. I mean hell, I just now realized no one has even let the guy know of his/her fuck ups. A warning at most.-- SA 11:43, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
I think a warning will suffice, this time. If they come back doing similar, however... -- boxy talk • teh rulz 11:56 11 December 2009 (BST)
