UDWiki:Administration/Vandal Banning/Archive/2011 01

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.

Removed an useful piece from information from Metagaming. DEMon has been drawing a lot of flak (see here and there), so there is no reason to question the NPOVness of this piece. The reason is probably rather that it makes his organization DEM look bad. -- Spiderzed▋ 15:32, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Matters like this are better handled at Arbitration, I believe. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 15:43, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

A/A would be the right place if there was some kind of edit war. This is still the first time edit. Could still turn into one and become A/A material, but for now, it's just a pretty obvious bad faith edit from my POV. -- Spiderzed▋ 15:46, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

That is not at all how this works, the distinction between A/A and A/VB edits does not amount to a simple edit war, despite what some sysops would recently have made you believe. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 15:00, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Not Vandalism. However, arbies would be the place to take it. -- Cheese 15:52, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

TBF, Soph did give explicit permission to TZH and DSS members to post on her sandpage, so, there's not really a crime here. Dave was only exercising that privilege. ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD |

Yup yup. In saying that, Daves post on the talkpage of same sandbox is a little gun jumpy. Recent edits show it wasn't her who reverted the changes and it's becoming something it isn't. What say we pretend the last hour never happened and we can just go back to shooting one another in-game. For the lulz like. ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD |

 

05:41, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Cheers Axe. Yup, exactly, I explicitly authorised TZH to edit that page, so I don't think it's fair to strike Dave with a vandalism count for this.

I do feel a bit silly for trying to give the guy the benefit of doubt, which may lead to me starting my own action against him in the near future, concerning this page. So apologies in advance for the extra work, ops. --Sophie ^{◆◆◆ CAPD} 05:37, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Trying to get me banned now are we? Well, you're not the first. Certainly won't be the last. Thanks for confirming the opinions I had about you Axe, but was too polite to talk about. You guys better watch it though, peoples are gonna start talking about how you can't stand the heat what for all the trying to get me banned. Try reading the instructions and make less assumptions, Axe. Did that rhyme? Oh hells yes it did. Also, balls to the whalls! --Dhavid Grohl 05:43, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Obviously you missed the part of Sophie saying to drop the case. And I may be an ass, but I think you're a much bigger ass by saying TZH is too good for the purely fun and awesome Malton Manhunt events. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 05:47, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Dave, get real man. No-ones trying to get anyone banned. And as for heat, meh, we've been in hotter water. Chill a bit, and have some fun dude. I might even make you one of my famous cakes. They're the finest cakes in all of Malton dontchaknow. ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD |

 

05:48, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

The only cake worth eating is ice cream cake. Specifically Dairy Queen ice cream cake. And like I said about Axe's little game on Axe's little page... I don't care what you people do in your free time behind closed doors. You want to call it awesome, you go right ahead. I call it nunmuh. As in nunmuh bizness. And like most stuff that doesn't involve me, but people like to talk about, I will encourage you to take said stuff, and blow it out yer poopchute. That advice comes at the non-refundable price of a laugh for me. Ah its good to be me. Oh, and lest I forget (yeah right): BALLS TO THE WHALLS! --Dhavid Grohl 05:54, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

It's not my events. Only the ones that go by my namesake are my events, but the Malton Manhunt has more organizers then just me alone (see The Rosslessness Duck Hunt, Red October, Rage in the Age). --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 05:57, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Also, can we stop editing here? We've already establish the fact that this case has been dropped. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 05:58, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

No real infractions made, as admitted by both parties, so this will be more or less closed. If there is any more discussion or argument to be had regarding this case or the conflict, please confine it to the talk page from now on, guys. -- LEMON #1 06:11, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Spamming up admin sections, by creating the case below. Forcing a ban through Arbitration is laughable in itself and only proves my point made in the earlier case of Karloth and Ashley. --Thadeous Oakley Talk 23:26, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Not Vandalism - I'm not exactly a fan of the guy but this is still something that strikes me as a reasonable enough case (especially given some we've had). Whilst it's unlikely the A/A ruling will be upheld, it's still worth the involved users' effort to get an actual say on why not. 00:21, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Not Vandalism - Posting the request on A/VB is the normal thing one would do given an arbies ruling of this kind, and at the point of his posting, the case was for all intents and purposes a serious one. Plus it's not really spamming so much, just one simple case. -- LEMON #1 01:26, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Not Vandalism. Move the case to its own page as standard. Joke arbies are precedented as not vandalism (see Misanthropy vs Axe Hack, Poodle of Doom vs DDR). 00:21, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Not Vandalism - We seem to be pretty lenient towards joking cases on Arbies, even if they aren't funny (see poodle vs ddr). And to be honest, as long as they don't become a huge nuisance and aren't actually trying to harm anyone, at the moment I'm willing to let people make a joke on arbies (which is unfortunately already a bit of a joke in itself), as long as it doesn't become spam, it's in good spirit and it doesn't seep too heavily onto other admin sections of the wiki. -- LEMON #1 01:26, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
