Guidelines for De-Escalation Requests

All De-Escalation Requests must contain the following information in order to be considered:

• A link to the user in question. Preferably bolded for visibility.
• A criteria for de-escalation. This should be short and to the point, including relevant links A/VD and A/VB if available.
• A signed datestamp. This can be easily done by adding ~~~~ to the end of your request.

Any de-escalation request that does not contain these pieces of information will not be considered, and will be removed by a system operator.

De-Escalation Eligibility

To be eligible for a De-Escalation Request, the user must fall under one of the following criteria:

1. 1 Month and 250 Edits: At least 1 month has passed since the user's last vandalism infraction, and they have made 250 good-faith edits to the wiki since the last infraction/striking a user has received.
2. Invalid Vandalism Ruling: The vandalism data on the user's record is incorrect, because the specific vandalism ruling in question has been subsequently reversed.

Cycle of Warnings and Bans

The cycle of warnings and bans is laid out in these guidelines. De-Escalations will be administered starting with the 2nd warning, then working backwards through bans, and finally ending with the first warning, provided there are no acts of vandalism committed by the user in the interim period.

Permaban Appeals

Users who have been permabanned on UDWiki may have their bans appealed here on the De-Escalations page. To do this, a user must submit a case under the permabanned user's name, preferably with usage of the {{vndl}} template and an explanation regarding why the user should be unbanned. The case will also be noted on the main page via {{Wiki News}}.

Voting will commence for 2 weeks, and a majority of 2/3rds is needed. After the voting period is up, a sysop will review the vote and take appropriate action. If 2/3rds majority has been reached for rescinding the ban, the user will have their A/VD adjusted, and their permaban escalation will be struck, with an added link to the permaban vote. If the user was banned as per the "3 edit rule", they will have the permaban escalation struck but will be left with 2 warnings.

A permabanned user must be permabanned for at least 6 months before they can have the ban appealed. If an appeal does not fit this rule, it may be immediately cycled by a sysop without warning.

Appeals are considered a serious vote. Misuse of this privilege, eg. multiple submissions over a short time, may result in abusers being brought to vandal banning.

I think I'm due an de-escalation, plus I will be holding the record again for most de-escalations on this page. -- Thadeous Oakley Talk 12:12, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Although I'm not entirely sure when the countdown starts, after the case is opened or when it closes. -- Thadeous Oakley Talk 12:14, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

The point where you get the escalation pretty sure. A ZOMBIE ANT 12:33, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Of course, thanks for you telling me the obvious, I should get some sleep or just be less retarded. Right, I'm like 10 edits short for now. --Thadeous Oakley Talk 12:38, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Processed. —Aichon— 21:03, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

From tomorrow on (October 20) I will be eligible for de-escalation. Over 150 contribs + over 140 bot blocks + over 50 deletions = something over 340 edits. These numbers may also be illuminating about how much the op job boils down to swatting bots these days. -- Spiderzed█ 15:30, 19 October 2012 (BST)

Log actions aren't edits and don't count towards the contributions limits for anything. They never have. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 22:28, 19 October 2012 (BST)

Gotta agree with Karek. Your contributions is the only page that has ever counted when it comes to things like these. Aside from people looking at whether sysops are doing their job when their A/RE is up, log actions don't count for anything. —Aichon— 23:18, 19 October 2012 (BST)

The criteria is now fulfilled a week later anyway, so I'd like to re-file my request. Blessed be the laziness of wikizens and sys-ops when it comes down to catgorising images. -- Spiderzed█ 18:29, 27 October 2012 (BST)

De-escalated. —Aichon— 22:12, 27 October 2012 (BST)

Will do. —Aichon— 08:46, 15 September 2012 (BST)

Oh, and in case it matters, I totally struck the second warning and then moved it up a line, just to comply with policy. >_> —Aichon— 08:50, 15 September 2012 (BST)

Thad, please stop impersonating a sysop, before I take you to A/VB. Thanks. --Ross^WHO????ness 12:49, 29 August 2012 (BST)

At least he didn't threaten to "gass" us this time. -- Spiderzed█ 13:22, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

250+ contributions and more than a month since the last escalation or A/DE, thus de-escalated. -- Spiderzed█ 13:22, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Does that mean you didn't bring up a shitty excuse this time? Generaloberst 06:09, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Over 250 edits and a month since the last escalation -- Spiderzed█ 20:29, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

So, how could this sit unprocessed for 11 hours when at the same time at least one sys-op had time to issue a warning against SH? And why is this still unprocessed more than a week later? -- Spiderzed█ 18:59, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Because we're too cool? --Ross^lessness 19:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

case ...shouldn't have been permanently banned for text-rape a.k.a. role-playing. →Son of Sin← 05:32, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

fuck off you mongtard. he is perma banned for a good reason.--User:Sexualharrison05:51, 26 January 2012 (bst)

I second Harrison. Gordon 10:53, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

The vandal banning was confirmed in the resulting Misconduct case by the remaining sys-ops. Also, what Vapor says. Try again in 4 months (or maybe better not). -- Spiderzed█ 18:21, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Closed Per policy, a permabanned individual must be banned for more than 6 months before an appeal may be made to unban them. User:Johnny Rotten was banned only 2 months ago. ~ _{14:45, 26 January 2012 (UTC)}

fuck a policy ...he was banned before all the sysops voted, so i'm not waiting 6 months to appeal shit. unban Johnny Rotten. →Son of Sin← 09:51, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

or else what? you or you're imaginary wife going to have another break down? yet another pathetic cry for attention? you are almost as big a loser as that fake nazi that runs around here. --User:Sexualharrison14:44, 27 January 2012 (bst)

see bitch, every adult male who plays free browser-based games isn't a virgin nerd who doesn't get pussy... don't mistake me for you homeboy →Son of Sin← 20:30, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

1 of our seeds ...a biracial boy ...and you see that woman? what color is her skin? brown. what's the texture of her hair? coarse. my wife is Black as I stated months ago before she ever tried to get me banned. [1] →Son of Sin← 20:35, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

when i have a ever claimed to be a raciest? i happen to love black girls. and if you look on my user page.. i have a women also. still proves nothing. i'm not the one who had a public break down on a gamer wiki for zombies. now what were you saying about projection? fucking loser.--User:Sexualharrison23:02, 27 January 2012 (bst)

What?, lets ignore a policy, on a page created by said policy. --Ross^lessness 17:45, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
