SmashWiki:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 10

__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
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.

Removing content from. This user has been good faith before, so I'm not sure what changed. Disaster Flare   (talk)  11:41, 31 January 2016 (EST)
 * Maybe they were hacked? Unowninator (talk) 11:51, 31 January 2016 (EST)
 * Also put "DER" as the smasher's name. KirbysCrazyAppetite (talk) 11:59, 31 January 2016 (EST)

Inserting false information. Disaster Flare   (talk)  14:13, 30 January 2016 (EST)
 * He doesn't seem like a bad faith user if you ask me. He doesn't keep editing the pages. -- Ethan [[file:Ethan7sig.png|20px|link=User:Ethan7]] ( 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 [[file:Ethan7sig.png|20px|link=User:Ethan7]] ( 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 [[file:Ethan7sig.png|20px|link=User:Ethan7]] ( 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)

Vandalizing. Disaster Flare   (talk)  03:27, 30 January 2016 (EST)

He vandalized 's page. He seems like a good faith user, and this is his only vandal, but it doesn't seem right (and yes, I realize I didn't have to write that in the edit summary). -- '''The 70's called. They said BeepYou was here :v (talk)'''  13:16, 28 January 2016 (EST)

and seem to be another double vandal ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 14:30, 23 January 2016 (EST)
 * And because this is what everyone's thinking, could you do an IP check on them to see if there's any connection to anything? ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 14:33, 23 January 2016 (EST)
 * Well, either way, it doesn't matter. Both are blocked forever. Penro, the PenroDarkPitHead.png PenroZSSHead.png main. 15:03, 23 January 2016 (EST)
 * Well, if they share their IP with another user we can block them before they can make another account. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:35, 23 January 2016 (EST)
 * Results are inconclusive. Serpent  SKSig.png  King   20:39, 23 January 2016 (EST)

Vandalized Puppit... I think. 76.220.46.149 03:59, 18 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)
 * Which I just did. Serpent  SKSig.png  King   20:09, 18 January 2016 (EST)
 * Didn't know. 98.157.202.185 20:12, 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)

Might've been a bit too trigger happy on this one (If so, my apologies), but vandalized with unprofessionalism, as well as inserting false info (as good as Armada is, there are other players as good/better than him). Disaster Flare   (talk)  02:02, 18 January 2016 (EST)
 * 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)
 * Good faith, for now. Serpent  SKSig.png  King   08:25, 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  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (talk)  15:27, 8 January 2016 (EST)
 * hmph more than 15 vandals this year so far... OMG Nintendofan1653  ( talk ) the true north strong and free 15:29, 8 January 2016 (EST)

Same as below. Despite how the name looks, it's not an IP. They redirected their user page to make them look like an IP and based on the similar vandalism, as well as similar username to the IP, they're the same. Disaster Flare   (talk)  19:10, 7 January 2016 (EST)

I'm kind of on the fence on this one, but the IP in question directly ignored a hidden note about Scar's GENESIS placement, even going to measures as far as changing his place to 5th on the GENESIS page itself. Disaster Flare   (talk)  18:15, 5 January 2016 (EST)

Repeated ignorance of SIG and overall just disruption. He's been blocked three times for the same thing, so it might be time to extend the block. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 22:01, 4 January 2016 (EST)
 * Good faith for now. It's a thin thread though. Serpent  SKSig.png  King   22:05, 4 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. And third of all, his grammar is clearly trolspk. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 22:07, 4 January 2016 (EST)
 * I have given them a warning. On the next offense, I will block for a longer time. Serpent  SKSig.png  King   22:13, 4 January 2016 (EST)

What is with all these vandals? No other wiki I've ever been on is vandalized as much as this one :/ ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:11, 4 January 2016 (EST)

Dunno how we missed this one. He's been banned for the same thing in the past. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 19:43, 4 January 2016 (EST)

Constantly edit warring Taunt match and making it sound more biased, lying claiming that it's "hateful and offensive" content. They have ignored all of my warnings and continue to persist. Disaster Flare   (talk)  03:53, 1 January 2016 (EST)

 * my idea is that somebody is using proxies to change their ip as all of their edits are almost all the smae Nintendofan1653  ( talk ) the true north strong and free 20:12, 28 December 2015 (EST)
 * That's one idea I was thinking of. Disaster Flare  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (talk)  20:32, 28 December 2015 (EST)
 * 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.

I literally just noticed this. I looked through the histories of both accounts, and there's a three month gap between the last edit of 2 and the first edit of 15. ...I'm not sure what the hell is going on. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior  16:11, 15 January 2016 (EST)
 * Judging by the fact that they seem good faith, it could be a simple case of forgotten passwords, or they forgot they had an account in the first place. I dunno. Disaster Flare  Disaster Flare signature image.png  (talk)  16:12, 15 January 2016 (EST)
 * I'm not saying they're bad faith; I'm just wanting to know why the two are similar. Yes, it could simply be what you said, but still. AidanzapunkSig1.png Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior AidanzapunkSig2.png 16:14, 15 January 2016 (EST)
