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 using {{IP|Username}}, where Username is the name of the user or the IP vandal's IP address.

For reporting similar and unacceptable usernames, a talk page was formerly used to keep the reports in one place instead of on this page. For future reports, they will be kept under the "Inappropriate usernames" section on this page to keep the reports centralized on the same page.

Vandal/Spam accounts

86.18.61.190 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Inappropriate edits to Ken (SSBU). Repeat offender. --CanvasK (talk) 11:54, January 9, 2023 (EST)

24 hours later and nothing. To elaborate, this IP previously made an edit to Pyra (SSBU) to change a quote to her eating babies and on Ken (SSBU) they made an extensive edit about rape. Tyrant, Aidan, Toomai, and Serpent all appeared in the online list at some point after this submission and the IP was not dealt with. Tyrant blocked another IP for vandalism after the above IP was reported; I also reported that other IP 4 days ago and no action was taken against them. Aidan appeared online at the same time as Tyrant when the other IP was blocked and made edits later on. Why is this page being ignored? --CanvasK (talk) 12:56, January 10, 2023 (EST)

To put it simply (and partially summarizing a previous discussion had with OT), it's just that much easier to ping us on Discord to alert us to a vandalizing IP. A majority of the userbase uses Discord to interact with other wiki members and notify the admins of anything (vandals or otherwise), so this page has kind of lost its original function. Notice that you have submitted nearly all of the reports in this section—everyone else has pinged the admins on Discord, and those are swiftly taken care of because it's something we can all see easily and thus take care of.

I'm well aware that discord is faster, what I'm getting at now is that there was nothing; doesn't matter if it is a fast response, I'm expecting a response. Days, weeks, sometimes months go by and submissions here are ignored until someone else pings you all on discord. You all can easily see this page too, its on the sidebar and (I would hope) your watchlist for easy access. What is expected of new users who want to report something? Will they use the clearly labeled admin noticeboard and be ignored or will they download a third-party app to report it? If they are forced to do the latter, I can bet that a few will either not put in the effort and let someone else do it or go to an admin's talk page. --CanvasK (talk) 13:49, January 10, 2023 (EST)
