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.

Harrison I actually even asked on the talk page if I'm allowed to edit the page, after which Ross said no. We know you've read those comments since you've replied there too... and then you still edit the page. Everyone here knows that you got the sysop's sympathy but seriously, how dumb are you? It's gonna be hard for them to talk you out of this at least. User:Generaloberst/signature 23:00, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Unless I've gone daft Boxy reverted it. He also should have been the one making this case as it turns out. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 23:09, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, maliciously editing a group page, however rubbish the page itself is, is Vandalism.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 01:09, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Not Vandalism It isn't a group page and the group Nazi Zombies really don't have any claim to it . Not until they take some steps to make theirs. Its just some joke someone made to get under cornhole's skin. Guess it worked. A simple edit revert would have sufficed. Hasn't there been enough bs vandal cases today? ~Vsig.png 02:55, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

That's irrelevant when the page edits were clearly intended to be a personal attack against the one user who has actually done everything that he should and could to try and claim the page for use in regards to an actual existing group, one that's even documented on the talk page. As for whether or not it's a group page; it's linked to that group via stats.html which is the ultimate decider of content, it's relevant only to them. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 04:07, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
No its just a joke page. The edit was just a joke. You're looking to far into it. ~Vsig.png 04:21, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Editing another user's userpage. Let's see what this does. User:Generaloberst/signature 17:55, 08 December 2011 (UTC)

In my defence, this. Let me guess what you guys will say now... "It's allowed to resize other users images, but only on the talkpage! Outside of that it's considered vandalism!"
Come on, I'm just around playing with this wiki, it's amazing. User:Generaloberst/signature 17:57, 08 December 2011 (UTC)

Picking on Thad? You really don't understand this place. --Like Moss and The Dude..... 18:03, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

"It's allowed to resize other users images, but only on the talkpage! Outside of that it's considered vandalism!" Again, it's Thad's call. That was pretty stupid by the way. ~Vsig.png 18:06, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

"Impersonation accussation. Resizing images is not considered impersonation, there is plenty of precedent to back this up. End of story." Seems like the sysops don't completely agree with eachothers. I won (again). User:Generaloberst/signature 18:13, 08 December 2011 (UTC)
Thad's not an op. Plus he's kind of an idiot. ~Vsig.png 18:15, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
I'd second that. --Like Moss and The Dude..... 18:37, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
If what you say is true - that it's the decision of Spiderzed (or Thad in this case) - then that rule is stupid, because that means the rules of this wiki differ per talk page/userpage and vandalism is becoming an easy mistake. Not everyone on this wiki is a sysop; we've got 10 sysops for a reason. Furthermore, if Thad is going to make a problem of this in this stadium then he's indeed (as you said) a huge idiot. Because he has just stated "Impersonation accussation. Resizing images is not considered impersonation, there is plenty of precedent to back this up. End of story." User:Generaloberst/signature 19:01, 08 December 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism, you yourself acknowledge intent. Now can we all please stop being idiots for the nazitroll?--Karekmaps 2.0?! 22:02, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

You guys really make no sense. A former sysop says that it's never vandalism, the next sysop says it's only vandalism when the owner of the page thinks it's a problem, and the 3rd sysop says it's just vandalism.
And then, Karek, if intent means vandalism, why didn't harrison get the an infraction too? Or are you saying that he "accidentally edited the page"?. Seriously of all the 10 sysops out here like 4 are active, and 3 of those are dumb as hell.
Also I forgot to say this: Ne bis in idem, in English: "No two convictions for the same crime". You're right that this action of me was intented; to proof that this wiki's sysops are biased and to make the Administration page of this wiki lose credibility as a whole. Though, if you guys are going to say Vandalism for the reason you just gave, Karek, then there are going to be two convictions for the same thing, since the above case is about the same thing; acknowledged intent. But alright, convict me twice, it will only be a double win for me. User:Generaloberst/signature 23:09, 08 December 2011 (UTC)
Note that we are actually ruling "Not Vandalism" on the case above.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 01:06, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm really not getting this: So you messed around with images on another users page? Unless you have permission, I'm pretty sure that's considered vandalism.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 00:00, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I can see that you're not really getting this! Did you actually read the other comments here? First read then open your zionist trap. Take a look at the case of sexualharrison below. He did the same thing and it wasn't vandalism. Do I really have to explain this to you? To a sysop?! Oh my fucking god. Even the sysops on this wiki are dumber than a bag of hammers. User:Generaloberst/signature 00:22, 09 December 2011 (UTC)
Essentially, it isn't impersonation to reduce the size of obnoxiously large images on a talk page. However, vandalism is defined as "an edit not made in a good-faith attempt to improve this wiki". Resizing obnoxious images is an attempt to improve the wiki; shrinking a reasonably sized image to miniscule on some else's user page in order to prove a point is not. Hence, what you did is vandalism and what he did isn't.
Note that I'd be perfectly fine with you resizing the antisocially large image the sexualharrison also posted on Spiderzed's talk page.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 01:06, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
The General, you are just sucking this stuff out of your thumb. Just like the others. You hadn't even looked at sexualharrison's case and are making this stuff up on the spot. You know it, and I know it. For that reason I don't even have to reply to the content of your last message, but I will. 1. It was only "obnoxiously large" because you said it was. There are no guidelines for images on this wiki that defend your previous statement of either my image or harrison's being respectively "obnoxiously large" or "antisocially large". 2. Even if there were I'm pretty sure that my image can be considered to be "miniscule" now after harrison resized it. 3. Four sysops have given their opinion on this case now, and every one of them comes up with differend arguments, though every one of them has voted 'against' me. Does this wiki still claim sysops are unbiased? To me that seems a lot like you guys are simply making stuff up. I sincerely hope the real life judges aren't ever going to be that way. Those are going to be funny lawsuits... between executioner and convicts. User:Generaloberst/signature 01:55, 09 December 2011 (UTC)

It's just 2 dudes kissing. And the third...well I don't really know what the third one is doing. I assume he's just trying to get a better view. There's no nudity. It really isn't all that graphic, not like the extremely graphic scenes of death that Bankerdorf guy (or whatever it was) uploaded. Not Vandalism. ~Vsig.png 17:04, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Editing my posts. I know it's only resizing, but it is editing someone else's posts. And no, don't make this a "Soft Warning" this time like Cornholioo had with him, and also don't make it "Not Vandalism" like Corn had with The Colonel. I've done my homework well. Sexualharrison should know better. He's been around for a while. Besides that Corn has also been doomed several times for editing other people's posts or pages when he hadn't been around that long.

Have fun finding some stupid ass reason to vote this one "Not Vandalism" again one way or another and losing even more credibility than you guys already did. Hail. User:Generaloberst/signature 15:05, 08 December 2011 (UTC)

hate to break this to you retard. editing the the size of image in not considered vandalism. it is in fact what is considered a good edit. if you didn't agree with the change all you had to do was revert or change it back. fucking dumbass. prepared to lose yet again.--User:Sexualharrison16:08, 8 December 2011 (bst):::oh you are right about that. and you must used to be hunted. nazi bitch hunts are super fun--User:Sexualharrison16:16, 8 December 2011 (bst)

Impersonation accussation. Resizing images is not considered impersonation, there is plenty of precedent to back this up. End of story. -- Cat Pic.png Thadeous Oakley Talk 16:20, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

It's Spiderzed's talk page. He'd pretty much have to show up and say he had a problem with it to be even considered. He'd probably have more issue with it being filled with hate speech, I'm sure. Or SH for using his likeness for hatespeech. Not Vandalism unless Spider takes issue with it. ~Vsig.png 17:23, 8 December 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)

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)
    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 whether to ban him based on multiple escalations. ~Vsig.png 01:48, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
    Ah. I must have gotten confused in the flurry of alts this guy made. Lemme just retract this vote for now... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 02:01, 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)
