SmashWiki:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 9

This page is an archive. Do not edit the contents of this page. Direct any additional comments to the current talk page.

The Administrators' noticeboard is intended to be a page to quickly alert the administrators to issues that need their attention.

To make a request or statement, create a new section and provide a neutral, precise summary of events with thought-out reasoning, and, if possible, links to any pages with relevant discussions. It is also a good idea to notify any users involved with the request with a link to the section on this page. Make sure to add new sections to the bottom.

Report vandals and sockpuppets at the top of the appropriate section labeled for such reports at the using {{IP|Username}}, where Username is the name of the user or the IP vandal's IP address.

For reporting similar and unacceptable usernames, report them here instead of on this page. This is done to keep the reports in one place, and because unacceptable usernames can be more subjective (unlike vandal/spam accounts), which may necessitate discussion (which the linked page will be more suited to handle).

Vandal/Spam account reports

Admin note: Please adhere to SW:QDV. Keep discussion to a minimum; an obvious bad-faith editor's record will speak for itself.

Welcome to fart town (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · to fart town WHOIS) Another one of Drilly's vandal accounts. Disaster Flare (talk) 16:58, 19 December 2015 (EST)

Is it actually another Drilly sockpuppet somehow? ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 17:06, 19 December 2015 (EST)

The last one to do this Serpent said shared a similar IP to his, so I would not be surprised if it is. I'm getting tired of this... Disaster Flare (talk) 17:07, 19 December 2015 (EST)

He seems to be done now at least. Still, needs looking into. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 17:07, 19 December 2015 (EST)

I'll talk to Serpent about it when he gets on if another admin hasn't already investigated. Disaster Flare (talk) 17:08, 19 December 2015 (EST)

I'll check. Serpent King 18:43, 19 December 2015 (EST)

Nvm. Thanks Nyargle :P ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 13:29, 5 December 2015 (EST)

A portion of a few of his edits (the non-vandalism portion) seem to be constructive. Should we keep those? Chilex (talk) 13:46, 5 December 2015 (EST)

Which edits? Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 13:47, 5 December 2015 (EST)

His edit to the Marth page, for example. Obviously, not all of it should be restored, but this one arranged a few of the hitboxes of his moves from least to greatest. Also clarified a few little descriptions here and there. Chilex (talk) 13:58, 5 December 2015 (EST)

Also trolling/disrupting, playing dumb on the rollback claim, etc. Disaster Flare (talk) 19:12, 2 December 2015 (EST)

I don't think he's actually using rollback. He somehow typed in the text seen in rollback edits. Plus it wasn't marked as a minor edit. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is a never lover boy 19:44, 2 December 2015 (EST)

Thanks. :) But if this user HAD to be blocked, I'd suggest the first block being lenient (1 week max). If that gets repeated, give them the banhammer. Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 13:10, 28 November 2015 (EST)

Youwutbruh (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) I'm tempting to call vandalism, mainly due to creating a non-userpage about themself and inserted false information, as well as a seemingly untrustworthy username given recent history, but at the same time, it does seem in good faith, so I'll leave it to an admin to decide.

Raul Menendez (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · Menendez WHOIS) Randomly came up to Smashpotatoes and said he has a long rivalry with him for no reason. Also if he is telling the truth he could be a sockpuppet. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 20:33, 26 November 2015 (EST)

Should I check with an admin? Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 20:43, 26 November 2015 (EST)

No. I looked into it. Found nothing. Serpent King 20:44, 26 November 2015 (EST)

If you say so. I still don't trust him though... ---Preceding unsigned comment added by a turkey! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:45, 26 November 2015 (EST)

At ease. I'm watching carefully. Serpent King 20:46, 26 November 2015 (EST)

All are IPs ignoring user consensus and pushing for a trivia point about Corrin's sexuality in the same ignorant way. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 15:26, 19 December 2015 (EST)

Same as what DNK said. Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 15:26, 21 December 2015 (EST)

172.56.15.1 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS)

As they are IPs, there isn't much we can do except ask Toomai for a range ban. Even then, one of those IPs don't match. Serpent King 15:38, 21 December 2015 (EST)

It may also be unintentional, it isn't hard to accidentally use different IPs to edit. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 15:44, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Doubt it. They're similar pushing for the same thing. Also, yes, I failed to mention that 208.54.86.139 was unjustly blocked; that IP was not pushing for anything and merely commented and added to the conversation. The block should be lifted for that one. Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 15:49, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Different though similar IPs, same area. Going to say they are 2 different users from the same area. For now. Serpent King 21:02, 6 December 2015 (EST)

Admittedly though, their behavior is suspiciously similar. Thankfully they seem to be in good faith. Disaster Flare (talk) 21:04, 6 December 2015 (EST)

Guerao (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS)

I suspect they're the same person. Disaster Flare (talk) 23:58, 18 November 2015 (EST)

Different IPs, but from the location, and one tried blanking the others' talk page after the other tried. So yeah one is definitely a sock, though it could be a case of the user forgetting their password and not knowing the procedure, considering the user doesn't appear to be well-versed of the wiki. Omega Tyrant 06:30, 19 November 2015 (EST)

Reyortsed eht Ekactun (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · eht Ekactun WHOIS) Suspected sock of Nutcake the Destroyer, due to it being the same name backwards. Disaster Flare (talk) 17:52, 17 November 2015 (EST)

Yep, it's the same one. Disaster Flare (talk) 16:02, 18 November 2015 (EST)

I suspect the recent 15DWS-related vandals are sockpuppets of an actual community member (dun dun dunnn). It seems weird how much they know about us, and Menotlikeidiots specifically made a page that Ganonmew just requested protection for (but SK didn't protect). It's... strange, to say the least. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by a turkey! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 21:25, 21 November 2015 (EST)

You raise some interesting points, but what community member hates us this much to the point of causing all this trouble? Disaster Flare (talk) 11:00, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Quite. I cannot run checkuser on everyone, that's a major no-no. I would need a narrower scope. Serpent King 11:03, 24 November 2015 (EST)

I also suspect that Drilly's attacker and 15DWS's attacker are one and the same, based on GottalovetheiPad!'s vandal pages that were made last night. Disaster Flare (talk) 11:08, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Agree'd. Serpent King 11:11, 24 November 2015 (EST)

You're all forgetting an infamous person here on the wiki (that has been blocked numerous times) that could be out to get us. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 11:40, 24 November 2015 (EST)

I'm 90% sure who it is via CheckUser. Nyargleblargle (Talk | Contribs) 11:41, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Same. And it isn't Barnes. Serpent King 11:43, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Well, then do something about it. Talk to Miles or Toom or something. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 11:44, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Thank the stars we finally have a potential suspect. I wonder who it is. (Hopefully none of my friends) Disaster Flare (talk) 11:45, 24 November 2015 (EST)

(Reset indent) *sees RC* ...oh shit... Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 11:47, 24 November 2015 (EST)

This is a turn of events... Disaster Flare (talk) 11:49, 24 November 2015 (EST)

This is certainly interesting... Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 11:51, 24 November 2015 (EST)

For the record, we know for sure Drilly was somehow involved in the late summer userspace vandalism, and almost certainly so in the recent series. Nyargleblargle (Talk | Contribs) 11:56, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Interesting. The questioning continues... Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 12:00, 24 November 2015 (EST)

I suspected it was him... I just didn't want to call him out without evidence. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by a turkey! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 13:40, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Protection request

Should Corrin, his fighter page, and as a precaution Fire Emblem (universe) be semi-protected? This should detract IP users that want to add a trivia point that we voted against adding. Berrenta (talk) 15:42, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Whoops, just noticed the fighter page is already protected as a high traffic page. Maybe the other two? Berrenta (talk) 15:45, 21 December 2015 (EST)

I'm fine with protecting Corrin, but not Fire Emblem's page; it seems like an unnecessary precaution. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 15:45, 21 December 2015 (EST)

His fighter page is already protected until march, but I will apply semi- to the other 2 pages for a month. Nyargle, FE was vandalized today, under similar circumstances, so it seems appropriate. Serpent King 15:47, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Oh, I see. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 15:49, 21 December 2015 (EST)
