SmashWiki:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 10

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.

Eminicki (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Nothing particularly special, just a vandal. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 13:21, 2 February 2016 (EST)

Gonna AGF on this one, looks like a half-hearted and relatively inoffensive joke. Miles (talk) 13:50, 2 February 2016 (EST)

(edit conflict) Erm, he literally made an account and immediately created a page that had nothing but nonsense on it. I don't see where there's good faith to be assumed here. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 13:53, 2 February 2016 (EST)

I don't any contributions from them; how could they've vandalized anything? Unowninator (talk) 13:52, 2 February 2016 (EST)

He created the page Smasher:Tavi with "he's a got damn nerd" on it. But when a page is deleted, it's removed from all users' contributions. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 14:02, 2 February 2016 (EST)

(edit conflict) I think it won't include deleted pages. They aren't causing any harm now. But I wouldn't really say this user is good faith if you ban 94.197.120.112 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS).

He doesn't seem like a bad faith user if you ask me. He doesn't keep editing the pages. -- Ethan(Discussion) 14:35, 30 January 2016 (EST)

The style of both edits they were making was consistent with a user who has done those same things repeatedly despite repeated warnings. I issued a block. Miles (talk) 14:44, 30 January 2016 (EST)

There was another guy who did this to another Mario sub series, I think. He also put rumors which have no real evidence. He doesn't look like he's trying to harm the wiki though. -- Ethan(Discussion) 15:02, 30 January 2016 (EST)

It may not be bad faith, but repeatedly making disruptive and factually false edits while ignoring requests to stop is still grounds for blocking. Miles (talk) 15:10, 30 January 2016 (EST)

He actually only did it twice and added the Mario symbol to the Yoshi (universe) page. After, he stopped and wasn't a problem. -- Ethan(Discussion) 15:31, 30 January 2016 (EST)

I say repeatedly because I assume it's the same person who did this, this, this, this, and this; they're all the same edit, over and over. Furthermore, they've added similar false facts about characters in several places, such as here. You get the idea. Miles (talk) 15:37, 30 January 2016 (EST)

Well, either way, it doesn't matter. Both are blocked forever. Penro, the and main. 15:03, 23 January 2016 (EST)

Great, now he's repeatedly recreating his talk page posting "suck poopasaurus rex". 76.220.46.149 19:58, 18 January 2016 (EST)

Would deleting all info on his page and protecting it be a good idea (then maybe delete it after he forgets about SmashWiki)? Is there a way an admin or someone can prevent him from changing any pages at all? -- Ethan (Discussion) 20:06, 18 January 2016 (EST)

Nah, better to just not allow him to use his talk page. 98.157.202.185 20:08, 18 January 2016 (EST)

Given that the block isn't infinite, you probably should protect the recreation of it. Ganonmew, The Evil Clone 05:40, 20 January 2016 (EST)

Prometheus2492 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Might've been a bit too trigger happy on this one (If so, my apologies), but vandalized Armada with unprofessionalism, as well as inserting false info (as good as Armada is, there are other players as good/better than him).

Are you sure you would consider that vandalism? Not that I would consider that as a good faith edit, but just out of curiosity... 76.220.46.149 03:43, 18 January 2016 (EST)

I'll admit, this one feels debatable. On one hand, it could be bad faith, but on the other hand, I've seen stranger Smasher nicknames, so I'm not sure, which is probably why Miles hasn't blocked the IP. Disaster Flare (talk) 15:27, 8 January 2016 (EST)

I think we're past AGF. First of all, like I said he's been banned three times for doing this exact same thing. Second of all, he shows full understanding of signing and has done it on one occasion, despite claiming to not have one.

IP vandals are the most common because it's extremely easy to just make an edit as opposed to going through the process to make an account. A large amount of them isn't necessarily connected - and even if they were, there's not much we can do if they can so easily change their IP address. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you.
