UDWiki:Administration/Vandal Banning/Archive/2010 08

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.

This

--Dawkins ^{[T][P!][W!][♞]} is currently: having his arm torn off by a zombie. 20:55, 9 August 2010 (BST)

Seems simple enough. V. Mebbe. 20:58, 9 August 2010 (BST)

Newb error. Thinks he's updating the danger report.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 20:59, 9 August 2010 (BST)

How about we ask him on his talk page what he was trying to do before we jump to conclusions? His contributions don't seem to point towards vandalistic behavior, so I'm guessing it was a mistake, but since he's never updated a danger report, I disagree with Yonn's assessment. Basically, I don't know what he was doing, but I don't think it was in bad faith. Follow the guidelines on this page by giving him the benefit of the doubt and talking it out with him. —Aichon— 21:08, 9 August 2010 (BST)

Why do you disagree? His next contribution was criticising the lack of updates of danger reports in and around spicer hills. I'd wager he clicked the image, was directed there, and editted the image description, thinking that was how he changed it.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 21:10, 9 August 2010 (BST)

I'll wait til I see if he says anything, but other than that it was one of those edits which could be argued from either side and I'm in a bad mood after stepping a legoman barefoot. >:( 21:14, 9 August 2010 (BST)

He edits spontaneously every 2-5 months. It could be 2011 before he even sees the message.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 21:23, 9 August 2010 (BST)

The nearest mall to his local group's HQ is 17 blocks away, hence why I doubted it was related. It would be odd if his very first danger report ever was for a location that isn't nearby, especially when his group is headquartered in a decently well-known TRP and has eight other TRPs within five blocks. —Aichon— 21:31, 9 August 2010 (BST)

Well since that image is used on all danger reports, and not just malls, I'd say that's pretty inconsequencial.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 21:33, 9 August 2010 (BST)

Location of malls matters why? All those images are titled mall-whatever, but get used on all danger reports. 21:34, 9 August 2010 (BST)

*cough* Umm...well...you see...*points dramatically* Is that a zombie hippopotamus eating a baby alien birthed by Britney Spears over there?! *runs away* —Aichon— 21:40, 9 August 2010 (BST)

I'm thinking close the case as an obvious newb error, with the option to reopen if he turns up and says "Yep, I'm a vandal".. Any oppositions?--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 21:42, 9 August 2010 (BST)

Not vandalism - just doesn't understand how to update danger reports -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 22:10 9 August 2010 (BST)

You might be interested that the new user that you welcomed, Barry bonds, has done nothing but vandalizing my entries to insult me. I'm sure he is BarryBonds756, a Pitneybank PKer whom I've been in conflict with. Looks like he couldn't find me in-game, so he pathetically attacked me on the Wiki instead.

Continues to spam up the vandalism page with race baiting despite a soft warning -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 14:30 5 August 2010 (BST)

If I vote vandalism will all of you guys promise to stop feeding him? He'll only spam the admin pages like this when you bring him to VB for things. Troll him on his own pages. It's more efficient. 14:32, 5 August 2010 (BST)

Oh how I wish this involved party could vote vandalism, since he's directly doing exactly what he was warned not to do by Boxy, and repeatedly. --

Looking at his VD, if this goes through as vandalism, he's up for a permaban vote. -- Cheese 15:38, 5 August 2010 (BST)

Yep. Not that that should affect the case in hand. Let's worry about that if it comes to vandalism. --

Enough. Month ban and permban vote -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 23:02 5 August 2010 (BST)

Perma?

1. Yes -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 23:02 5 August 2010 (BST)
2. No far too much fun. 23:03, 5 August 2010 (BST)
3. Yes - Shown an unwillingness to participate as a contributive and non-abusive member of the wiki, and has blatantly disregarded what he was just told not to do. If not for the linked offense, then certainly for what he posted in his "defense". —Aichon— 23:04, 5 August 2010 (BST)
4. Yes Unless anyone can find a constructive npov edit he's made. And then still yes.--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 23:08, 5 August 2010 (BST)
5. No - Personally, I'm against the perma-ban for anybody but accounts which just vandalise. Since his offences are more public nuisance than vandalism of pages, I'll go with no this time, but if he offends again, I'll be inclined to change my mind.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 23:31, 5 August 2010 (BST)
6. No - A month at a time is good enough for now. Next time I'll say yes. --

I'd say it's pretty clear if Mr. Cornholioo is allowed back on, he'll just continue his racist tirades. ~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 22:51, 6 August 2010 (BST)

15:08, 6 August 2010 (BST)

Erm...

I hate to bring this up (honestly, I do), but the vote hasn't come down in favour of a perma. =/ The policy says we need a two thirds majority in a week long vote. We have 57% after less than 24 hours. Wee bit fast off the mark there, Aichon. -- Cheese 19:57, 6 August 2010 (BST)

I feel very stupid. I had forgotten we had policy dictating it to that extent and that 2/3 was necessary. Yep, I was definitely in the wrong here. —Aichon— 21:52, 6 August 2010 (BST)

With the Rooster demoted, a 2/3 majority is no longer possible unless Kevan votes or someone changes their mind. - User:Whitehouse 19:40, 10 August 2010 (BST)

Verdict	Not Vandalism
Action taken	Soft Warning

More hate speech about races here, again quite similar to the last time he did it and was escalated here, in his "you are/doing something [negative] and therefore that aspect/action related to you is a jew." I guess I might aswell also submit this which I distastefully remember as being rules as "vandalism" as evidence about how tenuous these connections may constitute racism.

I'm not jewish, which most probably makes it worse that he's trying to bring his racist ideologies into an unrelated discussion. --

 

 

 

 

03:00, 5 August 2010 (BST)

If you guys would just fucking codify this shit already... 03:04, 5 August 2010 (BST)

I think it's still too dangerous. I think, a few months ago, where we escalated people for not just dropping the N-Bomb, but slightly resting it onto the ground and petting it until it stopped crying, in the name of the TOU, was too far. Maybe that's cause I'm Australian and all aussies are racists. But the line is so hard to be drawn I think it should be treated on a case-by-case basis. --

 

 

 

 

03:11, 5 August 2010 (BST)

Bah. Anyway if we're doing it case by case, this time it's simply been a case of accusing the Jews of holding their hands over their heads, and surely they have to put those caps on somehow. I'm erring on the side of not vandalism for this one but I'll rule later. Still think we need an actual policy, even one that tells us which side to lean more often. 03:14, 5 August 2010 (BST)

Not Vandalism - His last vandalism comment wasn't by itself, and, as I recall, I was ruling based not only on the quote that was linked, but also on some of the other stuff he had said that same day, which was as bad or worse, if memory serves. This time, however, he didn't say anything too out there. Give him time though. I'm sure he'll hang himself soon enough with his own words. He always does. —Aichon— 04:22, 5 August 2010 (BST)

First of all, I don't think I've said anything technically wrong there, even if you do qualify it racist. For example: African blacks have an average IQ of 75. US Blacks have an average IQ of 85. Whites have an average IQ of 100 (often higher in the Germanic states; lower in the Mediterranean states). Blacks are more aggressive and impulsive than Whites. This is all scientifically proven. Scientifically it's safe to say that 'whites are smarter than blacks' or that 'criminality is influences by genes' although some people might call that racist. Jews do often hold each others a hand above the head. That is the same thing. Then there is also something like 'blacks are able to run fasten than whites', which is also the same thing, although, for some wonderful reason no one ever calls this racism (why would that be? (HINT: divide and conquer)).

Second, I don't think I've ever mentioned the word 'nigger' on this wiki.

Third, I have no idea how it is in England, but in the Netherlands we call 'racism': 'discrimination by race'. According to our constitution, 'discrimination' means 'making differences based on attributes (look very closely:) that are unimportant at this point'. There was not something like that, since I didn't mention the Jews as a group. What I literally said was: "Jews often hold eachothers a hand above the head". And I think we can all agree that "Wiki is still a Jewish network, and is used by Jews a lot." is not racism.

Fourth, probably makes not much difference what I'm typing. Jews often hold eachothers a hand above the head. White Regards, --CORNH卐LIOO REMEMBER WHAT THE FIGHT IS FOR 14/88!!! 10:30, 5 August 2010

International website, dictionary.com defines racism as "a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others." Thats science. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:48, 5 August 2010 (BST)

That's not science, but ok. So can you explain me how anything I said fits this? --CORNH卐LIOO REMEMBER WHAT THE FIGHT IS FOR 14/88!!! 11:30, 5 August 2010

I've given him a soft warning, any more of this on admin pages, and it's warning/ban time -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:04 5 August 2010 (BST)

And next time round its a perma ban vote I believe. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 11:07, 5 August 2010 (BST)

Gee, I wonder which way that will turn! --Thadeous Oakley 11:30, 5 August 2010 (BST)

Still no one ever explained me how this fits racism. The wiki always claims to be neutral, but this is the third time there is a bias. I know multiple people agree with me on this. My life's task is unmasking the Jews, and I'm proud of my work on this wiki.--CORNH卐LIOO REMEMBER WHAT THE FIGHT IS FOR 14/88!!! 11:30, 5 August 2010

We just said it didn't fit racism, hence the Not Vandalism ruling, if you had actually stopped to read instead of coming here and complaining immediately. You were soft warned for your racially-oriented commentary here, which is a fancy way of saying that you didn't get in trouble for anything this time, but we're asking you not to do it or else you will get in trouble later. The point is that racially-oriented discussions have no place on the admin pages, in the same way that we wouldn't allow someone to argue the superiority of their political party, or their favorite computer brand, or their take on how we all came into being on this rock. That sort of stuff has no place here, and that's what you were soft warned for. —Aichon— 11:47, 5 August 2010 (BST)

So I'm soft warned for posting "Jews often hold each others a hand above the head"? --CORNH卐LIOO REMEMBER WHAT THE FIGHT IS FOR 14/88!!! 12:10, 5 August 2010

Race rants on admin pages. So basically, yep! Don't do it again, or you'll face permaban1!!!--

 

 

 

 

12:24, 5 August 2010 (BST)

So besides posting something not racist, I'm warned for explaining myself? That means I won. Plus if I'd have posted something like "hey crackers, we fucken pwn u at marathon LOL, BLACK POWERRRRRRRRRRR, peace out honkeys"... nothing would've been wrong. I always win. --CORNH卐LIOO REMEMBER WHAT THE FIGHT IS FOR 14/88!!! 13:27, 5 August 2010 (BST)

Now now Cornhole, remember what happened last time you said you always win. I don't believe the aura of the wiki was ever so high during that month and a half. --

 

 

 

 

13:41, 5 August 2010 (BST)

I do. Me getting banned was a great achievement. I'm very proud of how I unmasked the Jews that day. Hail, CORNH卐LIOO REMEMBER WHAT THE FIGHT IS FOR 14/88!!! 14:15, 05 August 2010 (BST)

Indeed, we all need to have admin pages spammed with your thoughts on the links between genetics and IQ. That's entirely relevant. You forgot to mention asians as well. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 13:13, 5 August 2010 (BST)

My my, I did this just this morning on an image that was also obnoxiously large here. Better report me a second time too. Minimising the size on large images on this wiki that other users post is a very common thing, and at a resolution of 1162×864 that definitely fit within the criteria of obnoxiously large compared to some resolutions used by some computers. --

Yeah. You people are right. I don't know why I really reported him. Wiki is still a Jewish network, and is used by Jews a lot. Same stuff as with that 'The Colonel' guy back then. Then it was 'not vandalism' because he made 'a little schoolboy error'. Now it's 'not vandalism' because it's 'maintenance of the wiki'. It's exactly the same.
