UDWiki:Administration/Vandal Banning/Archive/2012 04
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.
fore 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. |}

| 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. |

Striking valid rulings as an invested party in an attempt to change the outcome of a vandal banning case in his favour. -- Cheese 20:16, 13 April 2012 (BST) Not Vandalism. But my god, is he retarded. --Rosslessness 20:36, 13 April 2012 (BST) Being handled via talk page. Ya know, like its supposed to be done. Don't fall into that trap. ~ WOW. He'll be lucky he did this in 2012 if he gets away with this. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 00:12, 14 April 2012 (BST)
Vandalism. Tampering with vandalism votes isn't a newb mistake, and it isn't something properly dealt with with some talk page wrist-slapping. Hardball is the only viable course of action in a case as severe as this one. Principiis obsta. Sero medicina parata, cum mala per longas convaluere moras. -- Spiderzed█ 01:22, 14 April 2012 (BST)

Clearly bad faith . But obviously not vandalism. Generaloberst 18:23, 9 April 2012 (BST)
I'm clearly an involved party. --Rosslessness 18:36, 9 April 2012 (BST) Unlike Oberst, I'm clearly an evolved party.
Not Canibalism. Cute bunnies are always good faith. They're the reason for the season~
This is for arbitration as the existence of a case there shows and thus not vandalism. Also, it's an event and neutrality on an event page is actually part of the content, specifically content of the page is neutral to the parties involved and the picture of the bunny fits in with the lighthearted attitude generally present in events involving the Randoms as much as the name, etc. reflects the presence of the opposing group. There is no bad faith in lightening up the event page by removing pictures that would otherwise discourage reading the article. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 21:39, 9 April 2012 (BST) This is just disagreement about the content on a mainspace event page, and thus not vandalism, but rather a case for arbies. And Oberst, if you really want to keep control of your "event" pages, just create them in your group space or user space, where you have full control over who can edit them and who can't. -- Spiderzed█ 22:30, 9 April 2012 (BST) Since there is an ongoing arbitration case about this, I believe a proper ruling cannot be met until after arbitration proceedings have been completed. Please complete arbitration proceedings first and resubmit this case again in the future if Cheese breaks the verdict of said arbitration case. That said, I'm sure it is quite clear that I am withholding my verdict on this case. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 04:21, 10 April 2012 (BST) Uninvolved party's comments moved to talk -- boxy 13:07, 12 April 2012 (BST) User:Generaloberst 2
I've only just reTC) Oh fuck off and stop making drama for drama's sake. Warn the faggot. Karek get down here mofo. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 01:01, 2 April 2012 (BST)
For the record, I won't rule as I have been an involved party in SH's arbies case. -- Spiderzed█ 18:56, 2 April 2012 (BST)
SpambotsSpambots 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.
