I was sent an email asking whether a specific user (No idea who) was editing using a specifically named IP after the same IP had vandalised an URBAN DEAD related forum. At the time I ignored the request (and subsequently the vandal openly vandalised the same forum so it was irrelevant in the end). However I feel this is the kind of thing that should be specifically given as a no no. --[[User:Rosslessness|<sup>Hey Sweden!</sup>]]  17:36, 13 October 2011 (BST)

Since it is official policy, this page could do with being in Category:Policy Documents. (I know it wasn't voted on, but that doesn't change it being policy.)--Toejam 17:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)


Considering adding section re: personal data? -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 10:01, 6 May 2011 (BST)


yikes! sysops should have to take a personality test...you can hardly trust any1 w/ a plethora of IPs Son of Sin 05:55, 13 October 2011 (BST)

To be fair 90% of them wouldn't know what to do with an IP to cause problems if they tried and the other 10% are real tight asses about leaking of personal information. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 07:21, 13 October 2011 (BST)
Interesting opinion. It's true, at times I think checkuser should be only assigned to those who understand the consequences fully but at the same time it really hasn't been a massive issue for a while now. Only a couple times does anyone in the team slip up. annoying 08:43, 13 October 2011 (BST)
Yeah, and then the two worst were insta-demotions where people gave other people access to their accounts. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 13:12, 13 October 2011 (BST)
I've been meaning to write up a new Checkuser policy for a while now. It should not be handed out willy-nilly as it is at present; I think the amount of abuse it has gotten clearly demonstrates that. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾ 13:34, 13 October 2011 (BST)
Honestly can only think of about four incidents. J3d, Nubis, and two accidental postings(one, again by J3d), it's done significantly more good as far as A/VB is concerned but, then again not everyone takes the time to use it in cases of fly by night vandalism. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 13:42, 13 October 2011 (BST)
And me.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 13:46, 13 October 2011 (BST)
I don't know why you'd fly that flag when I was giving you a pass by not mentioning your name. :P --Karekmaps 2.0?! 13:48, 13 October 2011 (BST)
