SmashWiki:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 9

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

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, 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
Uh...you gotta see this to believe it... Disaster Flare   (talk)  21:26, 20 December 2015 (EST)

Might be a little gun-jumpy, but added gibberish to the wall jump page. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY  CLAWS ! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 13:18, 20 December 2015 (EST)

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  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (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  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (talk)  17:08, 19 December 2015 (EST)
 * I'll check. Serpent  SKSig.png  King   18:43, 19 December 2015 (EST)
 * Seems unrelated to any other user. Serpent  SKSig.png  King   18:45, 19 December 2015 (EST)

Faking rollback powers to undo an edit on the noticeboard. Disaster Flare   (talk)  19:11, 16 December 2015 (EST)

That. I honestly don't know what to believe. Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk)  16:25, 12 December 2015 (EST)

Same as the one below.... Disaster Flare   (talk)  16:53, 10 December 2015 (EST)

Typical vandal. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY  CLAWS ! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 13:29, 5 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.png Nyargle blargle'''  (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)

Vandalized. Disaster Flare   (talk)  21:44, 2 December 2015 (EST)

Sockpuppet, also, how in God's name does he have rollback?! Disaster Flare   (talk)  19:09, 2 December 2015 (EST)
 * Also trolling/disrupting, playing dumb on the rollback claim, etc. Disaster Flare  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (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)
 * I realized that after the ban, still unsettling to see regardless. Disaster Flare  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (talk)  19:46, 2 December 2015 (EST)

Vandalizing smasher articles ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY  CLAWS ! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 18:09, 28 November 2015 (EST)

Vandalizing userpages. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY  CLAWS ! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 17:06, 28 November 2015 (EST)

Vandalized Leffen. Thank the lord we have a second Drill Blaster. Ganonmew, The Festive Evil Clone  13:08, 28 November 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)

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. Disaster Flare   (talk)  04:20, 27 November 2015 (EST)

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)
 * Ik he apologized and said he stopped but he gives me a bad feeling. I think he needs looked into. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by a turkey ! Or maybe DatNuttyKid.  20:41, 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  SKSig.png  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  SKSig.png  King   20:46, 26 November 2015 (EST)
 * @SK: In that case, I'll admit that I was wrong to burst out and jump the gun like that but let's just keep watch just in case. Ganonmew,  The Thankful Evil Clone  20:48, 26 November 2015 (EST)

Vandalized the main page's talk page. Disaster Flare   (talk)  13:19, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Creating pages of SmashWiki users.  INoMed (Talk •  Contribs) 10:46, 24 November 2015 (EST)
 * Wasn't he blocked before? AidanzapunkSig1.png Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior AidanzapunkSig2.png 10:50, 24 November 2015 (EST)
 * That was a 1 day block. [[file:INoMedssig.png|20px]]  INoMed (Talk •  Contribs) 10:51, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Same reason as the previous two... Disaster Flare   (talk)  01:56, 24 November 2015 (EST)

Same as PERIOD... . Aidan,  the Wandering Space Warrior  15:35, 23 November 2015 (EST)

Basically flatout vandalized the noticeboard as an attack against Drilly Dilly. Disaster Flare   (talk)  12:19, 23 November 2015 (EST)
 * Also edit warring his point even though I've stated why it's flawed. Disaster Flare  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (talk)  12:24, 23 November 2015 (EST)
 * ....And now creating vandal pages. Disaster Flare  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (talk)  12:26, 23 November 2015 (EST)

I thought he's blocked. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is bad for me 14:21, 22 November 2015 (EST)
 * 15DollarsWentSouth vandal clearly. Again. Ganonmew,  The Thankful Evil Clone  20:59, 22 November 2015 (EST)

15DollarsWentSouth vandal again. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by a turkey ! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 21:23, 21 November 2015 (EST)

See the sockpuppet area. Disaster Flare  (talk)  16:11, 18 November 2015 (EST)

Vandalism. I know he only made one edit and one page but still. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone  20:43, 16 November 2015 (EST)

Sockpuppet reports


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)
 * 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  SKSig.png  King   15:38, 21 December 2015 (EST)
 * It may also be unintentional, it isn't hard to accidentally use different IPs to edit. Nyargleblargle.png Nyargle blargle'''  (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)

 * See the below two. Disaster Flare  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (talk)  14:52, 8 December 2015 (EST)



Not sure if sock or Totakeke fans. Disaster Flare   (talk)  20:54, 6 December 2015 (EST)
 * Different though similar IPs, same area. Going to say they are 2 different users from the same area. For now. Serpent  SKSig.png  King   21:02, 6 December 2015 (EST)
 * Admittedly though, their behavior is suspiciously similar. Thankfully they seem to be in good faith. Disaster Flare  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (talk)  21:04, 6 December 2015 (EST)



Take a guess. Ganonmew, The Festive Evil Clone  15:02, 5 December 2015 (EST)
 * Nope, probably an impersonation account. Nyargleblargle.png Nyargle blargle'''  (Contribs) 15:22, 5 December 2015 (EST)



Both have virtually the same attack within the span of 3 hours. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone  21:43, 23 November 2015 (EST)



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  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 06:30, 19 November 2015 (EST)

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  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (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  SKSig.png  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  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (talk)  11:08, 24 November 2015 (EST)
 * Agree'd. Serpent  SKSig.png  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. AidanzapunkSig1.png Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior AidanzapunkSig2.png 11:40, 24 November 2015 (EST)
 * I'm 90% sure who it is via CheckUser. Nyargleblargle.png Nyargle blargle (Talk | Contribs) 11:41, 24 November 2015 (EST)
 * Same. And it isn't Barnes. Serpent  SKSig.png  King   11:43, 24 November 2015 (EST)
 * Well, then do something about it. Talk to Miles or Toom or something. AidanzapunkSig1.png Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior AidanzapunkSig2.png 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  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (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  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (talk)  11:49, 24 November 2015 (EST)
 * This is certainly interesting... AidanzapunkSig1.png Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior AidanzapunkSig2.png 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.png Nyargle blargle (Talk | Contribs) 11:56, 24 November 2015 (EST)
 * Interesting. The questioning continues... AidanzapunkSig1.png Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior AidanzapunkSig2.png 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.png Nyargle blargle'''  (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  SKSig.png  King   15:47, 21 December 2015 (EST)
 * Oh, I see. Nyargleblargle.png Nyargle blargle'''  (Contribs) 15:49, 21 December 2015 (EST)
