Keeps unstriking his vote which was struck by A Helpful Little Gnome as a trolling vote, and as such may only be unstruck be a sysop. --Midianian^|T|DS|C:RCS| 11:29, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I point Midianian at the Voting Rules template, oh, wait, I did!

It clearly says 'strike out', Gnome did not strike out my vote. I am therefore not unstriking, I am unblanking, which any user may do. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

As the voting is not due to finish soon, would it not have been better for Midianian to go to Gnome's talk page and inform him that he had incorrectly removed it and he should follow the Voting Rules in order for it to stick, rather than begin an edit war in which he posted and signed as another user? But that would have been good faith....

Though with the current climate, I'm wondering which way this case will be ruled on.... -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Please stop the reverting war. Let the vote as it is right now and let Boxy decide if it should stay or not. Thank you.--Thari ^{TжFedCom is BFI!} 11:50, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Edited another user's comment. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 07:07, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Not vandalism - He just added bold text to the ruling, how can that be impersonation?--Thari ^{TжFedCom is BFI!} 07:16, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry he doesn't actually think it's impersonation. --xoxo 07:18, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, so you can read minds now? Marvelous.--Thari ^{TжFedCom is BFI!} 07:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Adding emphasis that can be assumed to have been unintended given the fact that boxy did not do so at the time, perhaps? It isn't "impersonation" in the classical sense (making a post using someone else's username) but it's definitely changing the message of someone else's post. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 07:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I totally understood that part. But I don't think he's changing the message Boxy intended to send.--Thari ^{TжFedCom is BFI!} 07:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, perhaps. I kind of see any change to someone else's post outside of fixing typos/improving formatting (the latter being mostly restricted to incorrectly formatted votes and the like) as changing their message... but maybe you're right. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 07:25, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Restored a page whose deletion by Karek has been ruled not misconduct and whose undeletion request was denied. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 08:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Regardless of whether or not the case is ruled misconduct the evidence proving this page should exist is irrefutable. Nubis' undeletion explanation had no justification and no one has been able to give a reason as to why the page should have been deleted. --xoxo 08:39, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

My explanation was on my vote on the deletion page. I just didn't think I needed to repost it. --– Nubis ^NWO 00:06, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Shitting up an admin page (such a wonderful meme) despite boxy's soft warning. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 06:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I was merely voicing my opinion guys. It was the first post I had made in over 24 hours on this admin page, so I was hardly shitting up an entire admin page with a single post. Now, because the sysops should view what I did as from good faith before they assume I was merely trying to troll like Bob does here, I honestly appeal to you that what I wrote was not just malicious trolling, and if I may suggest, that Bob is just a little hurt from the fact his attempted case (the one I am accussed of 'trolling' above) is going down the toilet.

All in all, regardless of what I say, I figure the sysops should be able to deal with it, as what I said was no more than a simple comment that I thought I had the right to say. Having said that, if public opinions aren't allowed to be expressed on VB cases which don't involve them (which I am admittedley not so sure about), then feel free to label this as vandalism. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 23:18, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

And may I also beg the ruling sysops to check the current VB page, and the talk page, to notice the amount of cases and discussions (that even directly involve my friends) that I absolutely did not participate in, once. The only case I argued on at all (let alone consistantly) was the Karek case which I brought up in the first place. If I have to go so much further, do the same with the accusing user Cyberbob here, and honestly, tell me which one has been screwing up admin pages.

Impersonation. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 06:20, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

In fact, I had previously (a long time before the history purge) grouped all my warnings together under one header titled "Warning". I decided to change the header I had placed there to better reflect my sentiments on the subject. And it's about time I had a case brought against me - I was beginning to feel left out :( --Nallan (Talk) 06:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't think you're going to have much luck convincing anybody "LOLZ" is anywhere near boxy's original heading (which I suspect was "Warning", as that would explain why you didn't attract a report before), somehow. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 06:32, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Well we'll see I guess. I'm sure they'll be shocked and appalled that I would dare change a header I created in an archive of my talk page over six months ago.--Nallan (Talk) 06:35, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

You grouped all your warnings (notice the plural) under a heading "warning" (singular)? That's funny, I could have sworn that every time I warned someone, I am the one creating the "warning" header (1, 2, 3, 4 & 5). That said... meh -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 07:24 26 October 2008 (BST)

There's plenty of precedent, one example being on this very page. Check out WOOT's case further down. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 07:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

User:Karek

Karek (talk | contribs | logs | block | IP Check | vndl data | discuss)

He has no right to change peoples userpages and signatures (Edit: and a group talk page, to clarify more edits) to suit his own sysop actions. For the first count, he tried to mask it by merely innocently changing a dead link to the old Ron Burgundy. For the second, he could have just asked me. Also, for the second, before you say it was to rid of my link attempt, it has to be said that bad behaviour does not justify more bad behaviour, especially from a sysop. I will repeat he could have just asked me, as the entire signatures's effect was, by that point, void. The worst part was the pages were going to be deleted anyway, and my signature cheating scheme was very well exposed hours before, and therefore this was unnecessary, yet he still insisted on going on this spree on pages he had no right to edit.

I don't want this to be a huge deal, or I would have jumped onto the A/M island. I just want whats been done to be right. I trust sysops to make quick decisions if its for the good of the wiki, because thats what they have been entrusted to do, but this entailed nothing of that.

Also, I'm not a wikigod at rules. So if this is justified I will be wholeheartedly sorry for insisting this. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:32, 25 October 2008 (BST)

Actually user page sovereignty stops roughly somewhere around using templated sigs to try and rig and falsify a deletion vote. That being said it was absolutely necessary to see the actual usage of that redirect.--Karek^maps?! 04:04, 25 October 2008 (BST)

Then why did you change smokerjoker's userpage, and alter the "actual" usage of that redirect. See, the definition of the actual use of the redirect was the removal of the signature, which, under your argument was justified, but said argument just makes you clearly guilty of modifying the actual usage of the link DDR as seen on the BBK talk page archive and the userpage of a BBK member who idled out a year ago. You resorted to altering his page to justify your quick deletion. Explain? D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 04:27, 25 October 2008 (BST)

Yeah, and I've also done it with every other speedy delete request that qualified for deletion but had some incoming links outside of A/D or A/SD. Hell I did it just earlier with Caleb Usher, I also try and do it when I serve a move-delete. So should every other sysop because wiki maintenance is part of the reason for deletions and it would be ridiculous to counter that by leaving 2 or 3 or 4 nonworking links every time something got deleted or was up for deletion for lack of use(Crit 3). --Karek^maps?! 04:55, 25 October 2008 (BST)

Also, Read reverted the related edit you made on the BBK talk page archive, and the Boxy reverted it back to your edit. Because of this, may I request someone other than Boxy rule on this case, please? I know this isn't a rule but I hope that it be honoured given the circumstances. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 04:32, 25 October 2008 (BST)

Sure, I won't rule (this time), but can I have an A/VB case all of my own, seeing as everyone else has one? I've been doing this sort of thing all morning long so that underused redirects that fit crit 9 can be deleted (there is no requirement for them to be unused to be speedydeleted, fixing the links is a courtesy) -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 04:55 25 October 2008 (BST)

Thanks Box. However, Karek has admitted that he changed the links to see the true use of the DDR link, and of course, his true actions were an overextension of that. What you say and have done Boxy does justify his changing of the BBK talk archive and Karek has justified his changing of my signature to some extent. So I am content with that. But Box, you didn't change another user's page. Regardless of the above, that is still against the rules, and was unecessary. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 05:09, 25 October 2008 (BST)

An edit to Onipar's user page to remove an unnecessary link. There is no page I wouldn't edit to fix up such links, because it's done to maintain the wiki, and I have a long history of doing such. If it was just someone doing it to stir up drama, then you may have a point, but Karek didn't go out of his way to find this to annoy you, it was forced to the attention of the whole wiki by a day of drama creation, so he did what he always does, fixes thing up -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 05:18 25 October 2008 (BST)

Difference is those were being speedy deleted and you were being an all round nice guy and cleaning up the links. With DDR it was on A/D having received keep votes so removing all the stuff that links to it (not to mention deleting the page!) would influence people who might vote keep on the deletion.--xoxo 05:21, 25 October 2008 (BST)

Actually, we've always done maintenance changes to user pages when necessary to preserve proper usage, links, etc. It falls under helpful edits usually, most commonly happens with Categories on user pages(I'd show you some from my past contribs but I have done hundreds of edits to banned vandal pages so it's kinda massive under User).--Karek^maps?! 05:22, 25 October 2008 (BST)

J3D is right about the context. The link DDR was in Deletions, Karek did not delete it post-SD, like Boxy did with the respective links. Yes, the signature had the be changed for DDR to be accurately seen in that context, but it still didn't warrant the modifying of an innocent's page. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 05:25, 25 October 2008 (BST)

Not Vandalism - It's just normal cleanup tasks following a page move/deletion. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 16:11, 25 October 2008 (BST)

I think the main point was that, the pages were on the Deletions page, not on the Speedy Deletions page, at the time of deletion.--CyberRead240 16:18, 25 October 2008 (BST)

They shouldn't be deleted (or kept) until the deletions request is finished. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 16:23, 25 October 2008 (BST)

What do you mean? So was Karek allowed to delete the redirects while they were on Deletions, or not?--CyberRead240 16:25, 25 October 2008 (BST)

He shouldn't have deleted DDR, the others were crit 6 and need to be brough to Undeletions. Unless I missed something, I was asleep when this all happened. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 16:30, 25 October 2008 (BST)

So it is more misconduct, as opposed to Vandalism?

All the pages were on Speedy Deletions, and before they were deleted there was a Keep vote on them from either nick or jed, I can't remember. Anyway, they were all still existing when they were posted on Deletions (by Boxy). They then protected the Deletions page, so nobody else could comment, and deleted everything except ALHG and Nallan. Just to get you up to speed :P--CyberRead240 16:33, 25 October 2008 (BST)

Neither, it's rather petty, but DDR should've been kept. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 16:38, 25 October 2008 (BST)

Well, I understand that it would be a misconduct case that one would cringe at its petty-ness, but as I have decided to learnmorewiki before getting so involved as a result of all this, it is still a breach in the rules right? Like, he deleted it without letting it pass community voting etc--CyberRead240 16:40, 25 October 2008 (BST)

If DDR was up at the time of the deletion request and deleted, then yep. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 16:46, 25 October 2008 (BST)

Yeah DDR was up, they all were. Thanks for that, I am trying to do this right...trying..haha--CyberRead240 16:47, 25 October 2008 (BST)

Let me make this very clear. DDR wasn't deleted under crit 9, it was deleted under crit 3, it also qualified for crit 9, and DDR invalidated voting on it through his own actions. It would be ridiculous us to allow him to keep a page that was only kept because he rigged the initial vote, that's vandalism, however I didn't feel we needed yet another case relating to this so I dealt with it without asking for an escalation that I sure as hell could have gotten with ease.--Karek^maps?! 17:49, 25 October 2008 (BST)

But, hey, whatever. I should be leaving for that thing announced on my user page today and it looks like I may be gone for that full time. So work it out amongst yourselves.--Karek^maps?! 17:52, 25 October 2008 (BST)

WikiPolicy said:

A Speedy Deletion may be circumvented by a single vote of Keep under the request. If this occurs, the system operator shall move the Speedy Deletion request to the Deletion Request Queue, where the normal rules for Deletion of the page shall apply. Further, a user may choose to move a request from the Speedy Deletion queue to the Deletion Request Queue should they feel that the deletion may attract controversy within the wiki community, but do not wish to cast a Keep vote for the request. Should either of these circumstances occur, the deletion candidate should remain in the Deletion Request Queue until the alloted two weeks is up.

So there you have it. Policy doesn't say DDR can't vote keep on his own page. It had a keep vote, it was moved, according to policy, you have committed misconduct. Nobody is going to file you, but yeah, you have.--CyberRead240 00:46, 26 October 2008 (BST)

Also, I find it humorous that you lied, you actually wrote "Crit 3/9" in the deletions log when deleting DDR. --CyberRead240 00:46, 26 October 2008 (BST)

User:Sexylegsread

Sexylegsread (talk | contribs | logs | block | IP Check | vndl data | discuss) Continues to ignore my soft warning about their shitting up the admin pages by repeatedly posting rubbish here. They've been going for over an hour, both here, and on A/SD -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 10:05 24 October 2008 (BST)

You never officially told me of any Soft Warning. I was never told on my talk page. You mentioned it briefly, not even in my own Vandal Case, but in somebody elses. I am not obliged to read every single part of the wiki to find out if I may have been soft warned or not. If you had properly informed me I may have reconsidered the timing, and the placement of my edits.--CyberRead240 10:16, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Also, you have stated that we have been going on for "almost an hour, both here and on A/SD". The only posts I have made on the Speedy Deletions page came BEFORE you "issued" me the soft warning.(see:wrote so in a random VB case because you were too lazy to tell me personally, and expected me to just pick up on the fact that you had given me a soft warning without actually letting me know in any way). You have since given me a vandal escalation for said edits on A/SD, therefore there is no need for you to mention the fact that I ever posted on A/SD, as it has nothing to do we me not abiding to the "Soft Warning" that you failed to tell me about in the first place.--CyberRead240 10:52, 24 October 2008 (BST)

So, just to clarify for other Sysops who may decide to rule on this case, lets show what you are therefore putting me on A/VB for. Two edits. One in reply to an inflammatory comment left by another user, alluding to a questioning of my sexuality in a very immature manner, and one telling the same user that I was done with arguing with him about a certain event, in an effort to stop the back and forth posting that was happening, and by history and precedent, would continue to happen had I not replied with something calm, but instead opted to antagonize him back.

Keeping in mind that you are posting me up for vandal banning for defying your "soft warning" (which I was never officially issued with, nor was I even told about, I was just left to somehow stumble across amongst the edit war and Recent Changes frenzy that was happening).

So you are saying I am a vandal, because I didn't adhere to a made-up warning, that wasn't even given to me, nor was I informed about by anybody, because I posted one reply on the A/VB page in response to an inflammatory comment by a User, and one in an obvious attempt to end a conversation that should not have been on this official page in the first place.

Nice work, buddy.--CyberRead240 10:52, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Of course your posts to A/SD came before the soft warning... that's a big part of the reason for my warning. And I only picked out 2 edits after you got the soft warning... and you did read it, because you've been commenting on it just down the page. I really don't want either of you warned for this, but there seems to be no other way to get through to you other than official warnings/bans. You were told to take it to a talk page somewhere, you both choose to ignore that, leaving me no option. At least I don't have to repost this 4 or 5 times, now, because of edit conflicts -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 12:06 24 October 2008 (BST)

I was told about it on the BBK IRC, after I had made all the comments, I simply missed what was said, didn't read into it, and posted a reply to Iscariot about Soft Warnings in general, as I hadn't yet been told (or even considered) you using the Soft Warning system. Every post was completely innocent, as I did not know about the Soft Warning on me until you posted this Vandal report. You should have posted it on my talk page to make sure that I got it, and not blindly skimmed through replying to whatever was relevant in the whole editing skirmish that was happening earlier. I am up to speed now.--CyberRead240 12:24, 24 October 2008 (BST)

I must add, your comment does nothing. You still haven't justified why you neglected to make sure I got your Soft Warning. Regardless of if you think my posts are relevant and that I have understood I have a soft warning (by commenting on its implementation and policies on a general basis), you still should have posted on my talk page to make sure that the message got through to me. All you have is my word here, but when it really boils down to it, you cannot prove that I ever read the soft warning, and that is nobody's fault but your own. I can assure you that if I knew that I would have been put up for Vandal Banning for continuing I would have stopped, as I am sure you have noticed that I have remained out of the "shitting up the admin page" game for a while now. (That is, if you do understand that I truly r noob and I don't know how to resize images). So, I think that if you are going to implement Soft Warnings, you have to contact the User on their page. It is the only way to do it.--CyberRead240 12:49, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Congratulations! All your chattiness has given me everything I need to justify giving you a warning for Bad Faith Spamming with the intent to Rules Lawyer. Won't work here, you knew you shouldn't be doing it and did it anyway. Vandalism be my ruling.--Karek^maps?! 13:03, 24 October 2008 (BST)

You are indeed somewhat of a smug C-word, but please go on and tell me how you can prove that I knew about the soft warning.--CyberRead240 13:11, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Also, what do you mean about Bad faith spamming with the intent to Rules Lawyer? So what, if I feel there is an abundance of information in my own favour I'm not allowed to post so in my own defence? Sweet wiki you guys are running here--CyberRead240 13:13, 24 October 2008 (BST)

You're not posting in your own defense, you're trying to claim you're exempt from the warning because Boxy didn't go out of his way to do everything under the sun to make sure you knew. Even when he had more than enough reason to assume you did know.--Karek^maps?! 13:20, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Everything under the sun...are you fucking retarded...It isn't that hard to post a message on my talk page, there is a link in my sig. You then press the plus button and type away. I didn't ask for a fucking home addressed ovarian-egg inked personally penned letter did I. The fact of the matter is, he posted it in somebody elses vandal case, assumed I knew about it, then put me up for Banning. Assuming is not good enough when you are a Sysop.--CyberRead240 13:22, 24 October 2008 (BST)

"You're not trying to post in your own defence, you're trying to claim you're exempt from the warning" How is that not posting in one's defence considering he is up for banning for ignoring a soft warning. How can he ignore something that he didn't know about, it's not possible. Ignorance and ignoring are not the same, and despite perhaps being guilty of the former, he did not perform the latter. You cannot simply assume that everything has been done in bad faith. There has to be some level of "innocent until proven guilty" within the wiki otherwise it will simply turn into some pissing match, as seems to be the case.--Scurley7 13:27, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Because he did know about it, not to mention he knew other users were getting similar warnings for the same thing. He's claiming ignorance because Boxy didn't post it in 3 different places, not because he's actually ignorant.--Karek^maps?! 13:37, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Name the three places I wanted him to post it in.--CyberRead240 13:42, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Also, I did not know about it. I replied to Iscariot in principal without reading the background to the story. I opened IRC to ask the BBK guys why the fuck I had been put up by Boxy. That is when I found out. But go on, tell me the three places I requested his posting.--CyberRead240 13:45, 24 October 2008 (BST)

"Because he did know about it..." - Or he is genuinely innocent and would rather not have another "black-mark" upon his record for something that he did/did not intend. You cannot know. While you do have to act in the spirit of the community, and normally I respect your decisions (I have been a Karek groupie in the past), I think that your typical clear-cut following of the rules is perhaps misguided here. He is obviously very passionate about his wiki behaviour, and adamant to clear his name and reputation, as can be seen by the fact that he hasn't had an A/VB case in months. I think perhaps a belief in good faith of others might not be misplaced.--Scurley7 13:47, 24 October 2008 (BST)

I'm not saying he isn't a good user, I'm saying he knew other people were getting escalations for this exact thing. He went ahead and did it anyway. I can't see any way that's good faith, it's believing that he isn't subject to the same rules as those other users. He got the soft warning, he knew he shouldn't be doing it even before that, he did it anyway. Very simple, very straightforward.--Karek^maps?! 13:50, 24 October 2008 (BST)

I didn't know about the Soft Warnings at all, I was eating dinner, I came back, saw the word "Soft Warning" being posted by Iscariot and went apeshit at the name. I didn't even know that Boxy had issued them to anybody, until AFTER he put me up for VB the second time. The first time he did so, was for a different issue, on the A/SD page, where I posted a large image. What Boxy failed to put in his assessment of my case at the top of this section, was that he had already banned me for that, and that the soft warning was in fact, for a couple of edits. Both acting in an anti-inflammatory manner.--CyberRead240 13:55, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Also, answer my question from the previous post.--CyberRead240 13:56, 24 October 2008 (BST)

"I'm saying he knew other people were getting escalations for this exact thing." - Well that's the thing. He didn't as has been his arguement all along. He did not know he had been soft-warned, and while his edits may have not been appropriate in their expression, they were in good faith, acting in an anti-inflammatory manner for the benefit of other wiki users viewing the page. This combined with the fact that he has openly admitted that he would not have continued if he knew he had been soft-warned, implies good faith. As a sysop, it is your duty as well to assume that users are acting in the benefit of the wiki unless irrevocable evidence can be provided. While this may seem a trivial case as it will only result in a 24 hr ban, it sets precedent. I feel that perhaps a policy discussion might follow regarding the issuing of "soft-warnings", regardless of outcome, and while I know soft-warnings aren't considered "official", if their issuing and the knowledge of their posting by users involved is cruicial, then perhaps something is needed. --Scurley7 14:36, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Regardless of my text wall, which is all relevant, as I was at dinner as this whole thing exploded, we have both committed the same act. It wasn't in a huge panic either, I couldn't give a fuck if I got a 24 hour ban, really. It is the incompetency of Boxy, and you must agree, if they are going to use the whole "soft warning" thing as an excuse to escalate your vandal status, they must make it more official than posting it in some random VB case. My argument is that we both should have been notified formally. Also, I feel as if Boxy has worded his posts against us so that it looks as if all the edits and pages that he has linked is in violation of his soft warning. Which is untrue, because we have already been trialled for our goings on on the A/SD page and A/D page. If he was going to include the link so A/SD, he should have mentioned that those posts had already been ruled on. Because, all we have done is post a couple of comments on this page. Surely not requiring a vandal escalation. I think there is a bit more motive behind these two cases from Boxys point of view.

Unfortunately, in this wiki, you cannot plead your case, as it is considered to be taboo to find any sort of loophole, or misstep of a sysop. Plain and simple, he should have posted on our talk paged if he wanted to give us a soft warning. It can't be official, tucked away in someones Vandal Banning report. Agree? (also, take this to my talk page if you think it should be there)--CyberRead240 14:35, 24 October 2008 (BST)

No boxy, you posted one list and then in a separate VB case said all parties involved. The two are mutually exclusive, mainly because you as the ruling sysop are involved. Are you 'soft warning' yourself? Also, I don't think threatening users with the extension of warnings to include them is proper sysop conduct.

Nallan, soft warnings don't exist at all in policy. They are a device used by rogue sysops such as Hagnat to subvert the A/VB system. I really thought we'd got over using these imaginary constructs, apparently not. There's no point in taking it to misconduct, due to the judges there. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 09:36, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Wow, you really fail as to what a soft warning is. It's to let someone know that they are on the edge of what a sysop considers vandalism and that anything further will be considered vandalism. It's not a "device used by rogue sysops", but rather a way to let users know that the sysop is seriously considering their actions as border line vandalism. Unfortunatly they are treated as a joke since most sysops don't do anything beyond softwarning people. - Jedaz - 09:44/24/10/2008

A message on the Users discussion, and a statement saying "I have contacted the User about their behaviour" on the VB page, would suffice. There is no need to label a slap on the wrist. It's not taken seriously because some Sysops only use it when they feel like proving a point. When they feel the need to "win" so to speak. There is no regard for precedent when considering a soft warning, it is just a Sysop saying "lolursoftwarned". Why do we need to label it.

Oh thats right, because the Sysop wouldn't be able to show his power by just dealing with a user normally--CyberRead240 09:50, 24 October 2008 (BST)

Is this person repeatedly testing things so that he can improve his wiki coding and be constructive elsewhere in the community? If this cannot be seen as 'good faith' in any way the a vandalism ruling should result. Bad faith = vandalism. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 09:58, 22 October 2008 (BST)

Fail. For one, the page in question is not a community page. For two, this case is too subjective to be subject to A/VB. Like I said to the guy who actually made the case - Arbitration is where this should be taken.--HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 10:34, 22 October 2008 (BST)

No, but as a sandpit it can't really be placed in the same category as something like Suggestions. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 10:58, 22 October 2008 (BST)

True, but there should still be boundaries on pages like that, perhaps not as stringent as we'd have on suggestions. porn links for example as boxy said, repeated page breaking (imho) would be another.--xoxo 11:11, 22 October 2008 (BST)

No, it's not. Disputes over a/vb aren't arbies material (see countless past examples). At least hold out for a few more sysops views. If it's a unanimous no i'll drop it, if it's not, then boxys may have to accept he's on a vendetta :P --xoxo 12:34, 22 October 2008 (BST)

I point all readers to the above case and this one to compare and contrast. Both regarding removals from community talk pages, however one results in a soft warning (in which the sysop in question clearly states it would be a full warning if the case was brought here) and the other where it's ruled not vandalism and the ruling sysop recommends further contact with the vandal in order to promote more wiki drama.

Not Vandalism - very petty reporting from Iscariot, yet again.
