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 Vandalism
Action taken Warning

Cornholioo has repetedly ([1] [2] [3]) removed this template from this page. Infrastructure 14:12, 10 April 2010 (BST)

Not Vandalisms - For now. -- Cheese 14:37, 10 April 2010 (BST)
Vandalism - Ignoring requests to leave the page as is so I'm assuming he's now just doing this to piss all those involved off. -- Cheese 15:03, 10 April 2010 (BST)

What the fuck is this shit. Seriously. For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee 14:41, 10 April 2010 (BST)

At this point Corn appears to have finally decided on an acceptable arbiter on his initial Battle of Krinks page. With that in mind it may be prudent to protect this page as a larger part of that case, as it seems to be basically the same issue. Thoughts? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 14:43, 10 April 2010 (BST)

That would be giving him attention, which is all he actually wants. For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee 14:46, 10 April 2010 (BST)
That is a fair point, but I think it's just a page he's made to work around the fact that he can't edit the other one. =/ I get the feeling we should stop "battle of..." pages being made while the conflict is ongoing. Wait until they're done before writing anything up. -- Cheese 14:48, 10 April 2010 (BST)
What the.. Infrastructure 14:59, 10 April 2010 (BST)
If it's reverted again, I'll protect it. -- Cheese 15:03, 10 April 2010 (BST)
Vandalism in light of this. But seriously, from now on, ignore the troll. For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee 15:05, 10 April 2010 (BST)

Verdict Vandalism
Action taken 24hr Ban

Blanking sections of another user's talk page. This includes several comments that were not his own. For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee 05:26, 10 April 2010 (BST)

Vandalism - He's been warned for a blanking incident before (albeit, that one was more significant), so he should know better. You can't go blanking parts of someone's page. —Aichon— 05:55, 10 April 2010 (BST)

When it comes to wiki griefing, this guy fails. Vandalism, and so it comes to a 24hour ban. --

Verdict Not Vandalism
Action taken {{{2}}}

Probably not the right place/way to do this, but.. What the heck. Cornholioo edited a user's archive. I'm not a very good reader, but from what I can see that's against the rules. Infrastructure 14:51, 3 April 2010 (BST)

Sigh. Not Vandalism, just petty. The classic "wait until the other person has left and then think of what you wanted to say to them that would have been cool". I assume that the user in question will ignore the comment as its in an archive. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 16:06, 4 April 2010 (BST)
Not Vandalism - But only barely, since it may not be clear that new comments are not welcome on that page. It's a user page for a user with whom he is currently in conflict and whose page he has previously vandalized (and been warned for). He was also soft warned over a similar issue, but the fact that the page holds comments for a recent line of discussion that was moved there quickly may have led to the confusion over what was proper. Another soft warning, I think, since it's not clear that it was bad faith. —Aichon— 21:02, 4 April 2010 (BST)
Not Vandalism - However, for peace of mind to Zyckde, I undid the edit, as it was archived by him for a reason. -- 02:02, 5 April 2010 (BST)
