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.

Verdict Incomplete
Action taken None Yet

For all of the alts below.

~Vsig.png 06:54, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism. One for each alt? ~Vsig.png 06:58, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

This one too:

Now I'm not gonna make a verdict here since my page was also vandalized here, so I'm an involved party, so I'm gonna sit this one out. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 06:57, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

That's fine if you feel like an involved party but I really don't agree. His vandalization of your user page was just a response to you doing your job as sysop. If we considered sysops involved during sprees like this then it would be very easy for a vandal to make every sysop "involved" by hitting every sysop user page. I don't think you have any personally vested interest in this case beyond the typical vandal alt response to having their alt banned. Unless you truly feel you can't make an unbiased ruling here, feel free to take part in the perma vote. ~Vsig.png 14:55, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
Guess you've got a point. His reaction was due to me doing my job. Vandalism be vandalism, then. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:24, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

They're pretty obviously alts of his, so he should get an escalation for each time he's created an alt to vandalise the wiki -- boxy 11:43, 29 November 2011 (BST)

Vandalism and an escalation for each alt. I think that probably puts him on a permaban vote?--The General T Sys U! P! F! 12:07, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism as boxy. 7 escalations at once should lead us straight from zero to permaban vote. -- Spiderzed█ 12:09, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Permaban Vote (User:Nmb910)

For
  1. Its seems it's between the choice of banning this user for a year or just going straight to perma. I'm going to go ahead and vote perma in this case. First warning was issued a week ago and in hind sight another should have been issued for the Liontamer alts. User ignored warning and created a plethora of new alts while using proxy IPs. Looks to be a career vandal. ~Vsig.png 14:34, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
  2. Perma. Because if he is indeed Liontamer, which he indeed does seem to be, and Liontamer appeared earlier then him and was permabanned before Nmb910 joined the wiki, then it should very well be permaban evasion, no? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:24, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
    This user's first contribution was in 2009. This is the main. We're voting on weather to ban him based on multiple escalations. ~Vsig.png 01:48, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Against
  1. But only very slightly, and only because the user started his vandal career only recently. One month is plenty of time to cool down and become maybe, maybe a productive part of the community. However, just one more infraction (even during the perma vote), and I'll do everything to keep him off the site permanently. -- Spiderzed█ 16:07, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Verdict Impersonation/Vandalism
Action taken Permaban

He didn't make an edit yet, but one look, and I knew he was gonna impersonate me to vandalize Snoog4's pages. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 06:28, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Scratch that. My banning came a second too slow. He vandalized my page. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 06:29, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

And again. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 06:21, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

User:NmbI90

Verdict Vandalism
Action taken Permaban

Did the same edits as Liontamer18 and 19. I can't confirm that Liontamer and Nmb are the same person since the IPs aren't matching. In light of this, I think we should also reconsider the vandalism case against Nmb910 below. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:42, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Verdict Vandalism
Action taken Warning

For this. MO matches Liontamer. --VVV RPMBG 08:13, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Check user does not show Liontamer and Nmb910 being the same person. In fact, their two locations are on opposite sides of US. There's a question I would like answered and made clear before I make a verdict for this case, so I've asked Snoog4 whether or not he authorized this edit or not. I shall make a decision when Snoog answers, or if Nmb910 heavily vandalizes the page like Liontamer. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 09:23, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
...It seems I may have unintentionally caused a bit of drama...He should have just answered yes or no to my question...Nmb910 gets a Vandalism verdict from me. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 16:02, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism -- Spiderzed█ 17:15, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism and warned. ~Vsig.png 14:38, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

We should reconsider this case. See the case above against NmbI90. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:42, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

I repeat. We should reopen this case in light of the new vandal alts with a similar name. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 06:22, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Yep, open her back up and count each vandal alt as vandalism. I count three so far. All proxies, too it seems. ~Vsig.png 06:39, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm almost certain the impersonators are him also. Protected Angel Wings (as well as my user page) due to excessive vandalism. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 06:42, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Verdict Ban Evasion
Action taken Permaban

Check user confirms it to be Johnny Rotten from a few reports below. Permabanning on grounds of ban evasion. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 01:08, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

User:Liontamer19

Verdict Vandalism
Action taken Permaban

Edits have been rolled back and permabanning as a vandal alt. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 07:10, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

User:Liontamer18

Verdict Vandalism
Action taken Permaban

Neither edit appears to be in good faith. --UroguyTMZ 17:04, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

All edits rolled back. IPs suggest either that Liontamer can travel from Las Vegas to Chicago in 4 minutes, or that he operates on proxies. Recommend a Perma as vandal alt. -- Spiderzed█ 18:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
I second the perma motion. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 20:16, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Permabanned. -- Cheese 22:48, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

What's up with these permabans? It's called 3ER for a reason guys and we've always strictly applied them as such, and proxies are banned separately from accounts. -- Cat Pic.png Thadeous Oakley Talk 14:37, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Vandal Alts are perma'd, however. ~Vsig.png 16:12, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
