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

Lols (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Everyday vandalism.

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 14:23, 1 December 2014 (EST) 216.176.139.74 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) May not have started vandalizing yet, but judging by a talk page that they started up, I don't think they're going to edit in good faith. Berrenta (talk) 21:22, 22 November 2014 (EST)

You are wrong with the "not vandalizing" part. He did create a talk page that consisted of nothing but gibberish (mainly "wad" over and over), which can be considered vandalism. Rtzxy Reflect! 21:27, 22 November 2014 (EST)

Whoops, guess there was something I overlooked as I typed that. Berrenta (talk) 00:42, 23 November 2014 (EST)

177.231.132.243 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Typical vandalism. Rtzxy Reflect! 20:19, 22 November 2014 (EST)

He's back.

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 21:14, 30 November 2014 (EST)

24.4.106.149 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Keeps changing Xandar Mobus's name into Tim Allen. Rtzxy Reflect! 19:38, 20 November 2014 (EST)

Blunk2 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Typical vandalism. All you need to do is look at their contributions and see. Bulbaboy (talk) 14:55, 19 November 2014 (EST)

98.227.213.132 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Removed a huge chunk of this page. Bulbaboy (talk) 14:49, 19 November 2014 (EST)

EpicRobloxMan (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) More vandalism. He was also blocked previously, so… Rtzxy Reflect! 19:43, 18 November 2014 (EST)

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

Placing the speedy delete template on random pages, as well as normal run-of-the-mill vandalizing. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 19:26, 18 November 2014 (EST)

Fun fact: he was blocked before this, also for vandalism. Rtzxy Reflect! 19:28, 18 November 2014 (EST)

Might want to ban him longer this time. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 19:30, 18 November 2014 (EST)

Defnotdan (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Vandalised M2K. PikaSamus (talk) 09:36, 18 November 2014 (EST)

194.168.100.194 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Started out as a good-faith IP, seems to have turned into a vandal. Return of Air Conditioner is really feeling it! 07:16, 17 November 2014 (EST)

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

Vandalism of pages. Of particular note, however, is that two previous vandals have similar IPs and similar vandalism patterns, suggesting a range block might be needed in this case.

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 00:32, 15 November 2014 (EST)

Dispenser (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Typical vandalism; keeps changing Pat Cashman into Fat Cashman. Rtzxy Reflect! 16:26, 14 November 2014 (EST)

Of further note is that this vandalism is similar to that of a previous vandal. Can a CheckUser be performed?

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 00:32, 15 November 2014 (EST)

Smashworker101 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS)

User continues to create useless pages on glitches without properly citing their work, despite having been warned about this behaviour in the past .

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 21:52, 12 November 2014 (EST)

He was already reported. Not a vandal/spam account, according to Toomai. Rtzxy Reflect! 21:56, 12 November 2014 (EST)

I am aware that Nutta Butta previously reported him. Regardless, I felt a new post was required as ping the admins about this, mostly for safety.

And frankly, these pages can be considered vandalism at this point, given how he has been explicitly warned multiple times in the past, with the most recent warning being the "last warning".

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 22:01, 12 November 2014 (EST)

"Answer this, what's the point on merging this article on Pac-Man's page? It's not neccesary in need for a merge. Just like other glitches, they have their own page." -Smashworker101

Based on that quote, he is either A) misguided and/or misinterpreted the messages, or B) ignoring them altogether. To be honest, I believe it's option A, as he hasn't don't "true" vandalism, as of now, and is just simply confused, based on the last sentence of his comment. Rtzxy Reflect! 22:16, 12 November 2014 (EST)

I was going to respond, to this, then this happens.

I don't know what to think anymore. Maybe I'll just strike this out.

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 22:36, 12 November 2014 (EST)

Yeah, not a vandal. Just misguided a little. Rtzxy Reflect! 22:48, 12 November 2014 (EST)

Shitnipple (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Tourneyfag's back (that means vandalism). Rtzxy Reflect!!! 16:04, 6 November 2014 (EST)

Also he is breaking SW:1RV. Awesomelink234 is really feeling it! 16:20, 6 November 2014 (EST)

All vandals do that anyways. :P Dots (talk) The Oreo 16:24, 6 November 2014 (EST)

Can an admin confirm or deny if this is a sock of the previous offenders? And if so, are their IP addresses too dissimilar to allow for an IP block?

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 17:35, 6 November 2014 (EST)

There seems to be two different people here, each having infinite blocks on other accounts. I'll ban their IPs manually. Toomai Glittershine The Steppin' 17:49, 6 November 2014 (EST)

Only two IPs? Because last time I checked, there were three users with SW:NAME violations who came on in a relatively short time. Who's to say that the IPs are the same person who just changed their IPs? Rtzxy Reflect!!! 18:02, 6 November 2014 (EST)

173.48.154.56 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Vandalized Smash Arena. Awesomelink234 is really feeling it! 16:31, 5 November 2014 (EST)

LucinaWithBigBoobs (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Good faith user, actually, but I'm positive that their name is improper, and I didn't know where else to put this. Laikue (talk | contribs) 22:54, 4 November 2014 (EST)

You put it here, which was already done. Rtzxy Reflect!!! 22:55, 4 November 2014 (EST)

aye, sorry then. Laikue (talk | contribs) 22:58, 4 November 2014 (EST)

Toomai is a dumbass (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · is a dumbass WHOIS) Tommy barnes is probably back. Dots (talk) The Piano 16:39, 3 November 2014 (EST)

Actually, I think it wasn't Tommy Barnes this time, but rather Tourneyfag (from below), because of his edit here and the fact that one of the examples there is his username. Rtzxy Reflect!!! 17:03, 3 November 2014 (EST)

108.33.54.157 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) has vandalized smash bros (series). Littlesquirtle, an average user who doesn't like his signature. (talk) 16:07, 2 November 2014 (EST)

One, new reports go at the top, not the bottom (it's inverse of other talk pages, so I get the confusion). And two, not really a vandal. Probably just a good-faith editor. Besides, he only made one edit, so he's not really a problem. Rtzxy Reflect!!! 16:10, 2 November 2014 (EST)

So am I supposed to delete the report? Littlesquirtle, an average user who doesn't like his signature. (talk) 16:13, 2 November 2014 (EST)

As per SW:TALK, no. Rtzxy Reflect!!! 16:15, 2 November 2014 (EST)

So this just stays here forever??? Littlesquirtle, an average user who doesn't like his signature. (talk) 16:19, 2 November 2014 (EST)

Yes, it stays here, but not forever: eventually, when this gets bigger, we'll archive this page, to keep it clean. Qwerty (talk) 16:21, 2 November 2014 (EST)

Smashworker101 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS)

Continually making unnecessary pages, ignoring the edit summaries and messages on his wall telling him not to. ---Previously unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 13:49, 1 November 2014 (EDT)

This is not a "vandal/spam account". Toomai Glittershine The Yellow 13:51, 1 November 2014 (EDT)

Didn't really know where else to put him, and he was sorta vandalizing by making unneeded pages... ---Previously unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 13:54, 1 November 2014 (EDT)

If there is already discussion on his talk page about it, it does not need to be put here outside exceptional circumstances. Toomai Glittershine The Prismatic 13:55, 1 November 2014 (EDT)

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

Vandalized the unacceptable username page. ...And has one too. ---Previously unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 23:38, 30 October 2014 (EDT)

The mothafuks (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · mothafuks WHOIS)

Inappropriate username, and vandalism. Laikue (talk|contribs) 17:21, 30 October 2014 (EDT)

-slamgoat. (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS)

Run of the mill Vandal, the IP below disappears right as his account is made, they both vandalized bowser jr. pages, so they're probably one in the same. Laikue (talk|contribs) 17:01, 30 October 2014 (EDT)

Technically beat you to it. I find it interesting, however, that his most recent edit was non-vandal... we might want to keep an eye on him in 3 days, but I think this might turn out to be a good faith user. ---Previously unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 17:09, 30 October 2014 (EDT)

I checked his IP, it's indeed the same as the one just below, hence why he was blocked. Toomai Glittershine The Multifaceted 17:12, 30 October 2014 (EDT)

Toomai pseudo confirmed they were the same (Check User, I presume?), he was probably trying to cover his ass with that last edit, so I feel no remorse (Some other vandal tried this, forgot who it was, but after the three days they just vandalized again), also, check the history, I beat you to the punch on him :P Laikue (talk|contribs) 17:13, 30 October 2014 (EDT)

...aw man, you did. Sigh. Anyway, it does seem odd that it was only after his IP account got banned that he made a good-faith edit... Either way, he's banned now, so. ---Previously unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 17:14, 30 October 2014 (EDT)

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

Vandalism/False information. Laikue (talk|contribs) 16:56, 30 October 2014 (EDT)

Similar vandal, -slamgoat (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS), also just appeared. I think they're the same. ---Previously unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 17:01, 30 October 2014 (EDT)

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

Counterproductive edit warring that involves false information; this IP has been blocked before for similar reasons.

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 01:31, 29 October 2014 (EDT)

74.39.51.177 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Your typical vandal. 69.197.80.40 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) was also doing vandalistic activities on this page (both of them, actually). Rtzxy Smashing! 22:52, 27 October 2014 (EDT)

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

Stupid, counterproductive edit warring on Smasher:Southpaw.

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 22:05, 27 October 2014 (EDT)

Sockpuppet reports

Blunk (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Blunk2 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Are these two the same person? They both constantly make the same edits. LimitCrown (talk) 14:58, 19 November 2014 (EST)

I'd say yes, as both share the same name and are both vandals. Rtzxy Reflect! 15:00, 19 November 2014 (EST)

LucinaWithBigBoobs (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) LucinaWithGiantBoobs (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) "Big" and "giant" are synonyms, and the name is pretty much the same. Both names are also inappropriate, by the way. Rtzxy Reflect! 14:02, 15 November 2014 (EST)

Mauricio56 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS)
Mauricio64 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS)
Mauricio78 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS)
There might be more, but three is too many accounts. Mauriking65 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) and Mauriyon75 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) may also be the same user, because all 5 start with "Mauri" and all but one were created today, with the one being created yesterday, but I at least know the first three is definitely the same user. Rtzxy Reflect! 22:50, 16 November 2014 (EST)

Only -56 and -78 of them share IPs, and they're the ones that haven't made the same kind of edit. Suspicious enough to take action. Toomai Glittershine The Brazen 23:07, 16 November 2014 (EST)

More suspected sockpuppetry by what is most likely the same person: Mauriping12 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS), Mauriron52 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS), and Mauritin43 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS). Eight accounts is waaaay too many. Rtzxy Reflect! 21:30, 18 November 2014 (EST)

Suspected ninth account: Mauchang43 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS). You might want to take more action than a message on their talk pages if all nine accounts belong to the same guy, which I believe they do. Rtzxy Reflect! 22:46, 18 November 2014 (EST)

Even if they aren't the same guy, they are definitely in violation of similar usernames (specifically the first three xD). But I'm pretty sure they're the same guys. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 22:48, 18 November 2014 (EST)

Well, damn, 10th account: Maurimii87 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS). Do something about this, please? Rtzxy Reflect! 23:39, 19 November 2014 (EST)

Looked into it further; it does appear that it's all the same guy (or at least, it's all the same uncommon country). But a range block would be impactical and send the wrong message. I think instead I'll see if I can block registration of that pattern of names. Toomai Glittershine The Brazen 22:12, 22 November 2014 (EST)
