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.

You think I'm being silly? Obviously you do not care about rules. The Guidelines of this wiki state that Sysops are above wiki rules and are held to the same standard, the only exception being Kevan. If you want that to change then write a nice little letter to Kevan asking him to make you as special as he is. Until then, fuck off and stop trying to elevate yourself above wiki rules. You blatantly abused your sysop position to discriminate against one user for living in Central America and bail out a fellow sysop. --Sonny Corleone DORIS I jizzed in my pants pr0n 22:58, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Numerous bad-faith homophobic comments. May as well actually do something about it instead of just ignoring a problem. Nothing to be done! 15:23, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I had very good intentions when I said those things. Also, precedent has been set. While the word "nigger" is used to offend, even as a joke, the word "faggot" is a figure of speech to describe someone who is not cool or well liked. In fact it can be said to be similar to the use of the word "retard" on the wiki, which as precedent shows is allowed because it "does indeed get the contributors opinion across quite effectively". Also, as seen here boxy and DDR defend the use of the word "retard" because of its popular meaning. As such I have brought up Urban Dictionary which defends my use of the word because I am saying you a loser. --Sonny Corleone DORIS I jizzed in my pants pr0n 17:59, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

If your really going to walk down that line I have numerous anti-gay remarks by you. Very distasteful is what they could be referred as, the lot of them having to do with very negative things about homosexuals. Just a thought there sonny ;) -- Emot-argh.gif 00:37, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Precedent has been set for racism, not homophobia. If a sysop wants to slap a warning on me for homophobia then that's fine. However, this is about Misanthropy, a sysop, breaking his own rule on racism. --Sonny Corleone DORIS I jizzed in my pants pr0n 03:20, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Well then to be technical Woot's saying compared to Misanthropy's. One is racist, another is a drink. If you needed further references here you go Woot's and Misanthropy's. While the comment is in bad taste, its technically not racist. -- Emot-argh.gif 04:20, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Yeah. And when I call people fags I'm calling them cigarettes. Get your head out of your ass. "Dirty Mexican" is a derogatory phrase on par with calling someone of Italian descent a "wop" or of Chinese descent a "zipperhead". It's still racism. And if people want to make the argument still that its a drink then I will fight Woot's one month ban since this drink exists. So does this one and this one. Making racism nonexistent since a drink of the same name exists. --Sonny Corleone DORIS I jizzed in my pants pr0n 07:41, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Seriously, Not Vandalism. The word 'nigger' has one purpose and one purpose only: to offend. even as a joke, it has 0 joke value. This was a simple joke and before you cry elitism (which I know will come Sonny) I've stood by this time and time before with J3D, even, in back-to-back cases. --

08:42, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I never said either were humorous. Misanthropy said an offensive comment towards Mexicans. If you call a Mexican a "dirty Mexican" he will be offended as it is racism. I am warning right now, if you do not keep precedent I will miscontribute you. Also, you're a buttfucking faggot. --Sonny Corleone DORIS I jizzed in my pants pr0n 09:01, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
If I was a Mexican lesbian, and had just finished a bout of mud wrestling, I would indeed be dirty. Not Vandalism --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 09:17, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
But Woot is none of these. Misanthropy said this knowing that Woot lives in Central America. And look what I found, DDR DEFENDING the use of the word "nigger" as long as it isn't used as spam. Right here. In fact in the Archive of his talk page J3D also said it here. Funny. It's fine for it to be on DDR's talk page, but if Woot says it on his own talk page it isn't. This isn't elitist, this is pure "I'm a faggot with power so I'm going to get away with it as long as my faggot friends are also in power." Fuck your shit, he racially insulted a user on this wiki. --Sonny Corleone DORIS I jizzed in my pants pr0n 09:20, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
That was before it was found to be against the TOU. Otherwise, listen to ross. -- 09:32, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Ouch, a day and no reply? So you were taken aback by the fact there was an actual reason this wiki became strict on the rule? Oh no Sonny, where to now? There must be only one more way to turn to have this fixed up: To A/M! -- 22:54, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Double standards are cool. --Goofy McCoy mfd HK-47 talk 09:27, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism Racism is still racism. If I called someone a dirty mexican, or other similar derogative, I'd expect to be ruled as a vandal, because IT'S CLEARLY A FUCKING RACIST COMMENT DEAR GOD WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE?

Are you ready for the House style genius of this one?

The defendant commits vandalism. You cross reference the name that he substituted into the leadership we find this guy and this case.

Therefore, adding someone who has already vandalised FU pages as Bullgod's chosen successor must be vandalism, added to the fact that the original Dabomb case was never entered onto Vandal Data. So, a warning for Zombierock and the last warning for Dabomb (going back over two years) needs recording properly. That's two entries for the low, low price of one case. I'm claiming two for that, the streak increases to eight! -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 19:01, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

I've updated A/VD with the 2008 entry, and I've warned this user. However as I did it, the thought occured to me that it may be a dedicated vandal account related to the above 2008 case. Thoughts anyone? --

05:29, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

It still counts as two for scoring. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 05:55, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
That's not exactly my main concern here :/ -- 05:57, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
OK then, there's no direct evidence to suggest they are the same user, could just as easily be a friend of Dabomb08's thinking it's funny to put him in the leadership of a group he hated. Any evidence that they are the same user is purely circumstantial given that checkuser won't show anything. Think of it this way, if it is a one shot vandal account, he's not likely to use it again/we'll catch any future disruption quickly. Given that the account is unlikely to make any more edits whether its an alt or a separate person, leave it at a warning. All he can do is commit more vandalism and give you the three edit perma clause as an option.
Definitely counts as two though. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 06:04, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Interesting - I've attempted to post current statuses of buildings as I progress through suburbs (and have in fact done dozens of these), yet you find the one where I apparently neglected to properly update the username? When I first started my updates on here, I admit I didn't RTFW and didn't realize at first that you could just hit four tildes instead of manually updating the user/timestamp, so this resulted in a lot of mis-dated building danger level updates (as well as bad signature links).

Furthermore, my "agenda" is to provide current status updates for survivors on buildings, seeing as a status left at "safe" would be counterproductive if zeds are currently raiding the beer fridge inside. If this is an incorrect use, I'd appreciate someone explaining how. You, on the other hand, seem to use building danger updates to disparage others or boast about how Super Awesome Cool your particular group is (a good example is where you tried to take credit and brag about an RP you didn't even have any hand in whatsoever). It's come to the point wherein you have repeatedly deleted my updates on buildings simply because you seem to have something against me.

I realize that this game is extremely dominated by zed groups and PKers, but there are those of us who like the added challenge of actually playing survivor. It would help if you didn't behave like an asshat on top of it, too. Ravenium 01:37, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

"so this resulted in a lot of mis-dated building danger level updates (as well as bad signature links)" - An out and out lie. Checking your contributions show that all contributions prior to your vandalism were exactly the same as server time, every single one, different time zones maybe, but not one wrong, nor any indication that you were placing bad sig links or rushing to fix off-dates.
"my "agenda" is to provide current status updates for survivors" - Then you're on the wrong wiki. This wiki is here for both sides, if you can't understand basic NPOV criteria, LURK MOAR!
"You, on the other hand, seem to use building danger updates to disparage others or boast about how Super Awesome Cool your particular group is" - Might be an idea that you do your homework first. I am not, and never have been, a member of the Militant Order of Barhah. Though you have claimed they're griefers, without providing a single shred of evidence, even when asked by a member. Your 'mistake' seems a little 'convenient', disparage a group using someone else's signature. Not only are you a vandal, but a spineless one for not owning up when caught.
"I realize that this game is extremely dominated by zed groups and PKers" - Basic common sense and the stats page diagrees with you. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 01:54, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Don't I remember J3D's demotion being a culmination of his terrible behaviour as a sysop because he defended his friends (one of which, sexylegsread, actually made the alt account in question, as a direct attack on another user?

I'm not saying I'll be surprised if it is, but I'm not going gun-ho on all suspect accounts when there is no evidence, I'd rather wait for it to do an act of (easily reversible) vandalism first, to make sure.

Pretty sure most situations like that have more to do with not wanting to jump the gun and risk a misconduct case in case sysops come out of nowhere and decide they disagree with the decision rather than any actual reluctance to see the person banned Cyberbob  Talk  11:29, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
That is garbage, I can't express how much precedence there is in a/m already to say that a sysop cannot be misconducted for simply acting on a ruling that is supported via sysop votes. -- 11:47, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
It's never stopped people from trying, and sysops can be fickle about deciding whether or not there was enough of a chance given for other rulings to be made. Cyberbob  Talk  11:51, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Nubis once used a case on Iscariot that didn't have a single ruling to rule vandalism, ban him for a week (when it should have been a day) based off his one ruling and then proceed to press the sysops into voting for his permaban while izzy was too busy being banned to defend his own case. he got off on unanimous not misconduct. You see where I'm going here? I really don't think users like SA didn't close this case cause he was scared of being a/m'd. he was probably more scared of actually having go onto udwiki itself. -- 11:59, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
