Please report any rule violations in this thread. Notifying us of such incidents is highly appreciated.

Additionally, kindly report any sockpuppets that you come across.

Only report violations regarding the wiki rules. False reports due to personal vendettas are unacceptable.

Also, this thread should be for reporting actual rule-breaking, not every single little disagreement.

In cases of extreme vandalism or trolling, you can report the accounts at the VSTF wiki.

If blocked members create sockpuppet accounts to circumvent their block repetitively, or several are created at almost the same time, you may contact the Fandom Staff, to politely request permanent range IP blocks.

You can also find specific users with the Search Function by typing with the format: "User:Username"

Here is a useful page for discovering sockpuppet accounts: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Log/newusers

Notes:

All staff members, kindly follow and bookmark this thread.

Remember to inform members via their message walls if that you have reported them here, in case they have performed severe enough rule-violations to risk being blocked. However, this should only be used in uncertain cases, not if they have done something instantly ban worthy, or if their offenses are minor.

It is against the Fandom rules to upload any offensive images to the wiki, so in order to show screencapture evidence of extremely bad behaviour, you must use external sites, such as Gyazo or Imgur, in order to not get globally banned yourself by the higher-ups:

https://gyazo.com

https://imgur.com/

https://pasteboard.co

Do not derail the Rule Violation Threads with irrelevant nonsense or internal disputes. It is solely for making serious, warranted reports of violations of the Site, Discussio, and Editing Rules, and not for discussion or side comments. Such posts should preferably be removed by the staff, and if a member continues to derail after being repeatedly told to stop, this will result in a temporary ban.

Given the extreme levels of systematic harrassment towards this community, kindly remember to not share/post any evidence of malware or child abuse publicly in order to prevent unwillful distribution. Submit any evidence of child abuse and severe systematic threats to the police.

If something goes outside the jurisdiction of the VS Battles wiki bureaucrats, or even the global Fandom staff, you need to report it personally to the authorities.

Also, absolutely do not click on any random links from suspicious users. You could potentially access content that contains dangerous malware or illegal types of pornography, alternately tracks your IP address and location. If you are uncertain, please use this page to verify that the links are not dangerous.

However, do not feed the trolls by discussing their behaviour here, as they get excited and motivated by any form of attention. Strictly report them to the staff, who then block them and mass-delete their contributions.

If there are genuine serious problems with the behaviour of certain staff members, do not cause drama by extensively arguing about it here, but rather contact the Human Resources Group.

I would appreciate if some other staff member could handle it, as I am very busy.
 
It's not that the ban was wrong, like I said I do agree that it was ultimately the correct move, but there was no discourse or consideration, if anyone just clicked on this thread with little context chances are they'd think the basis of his ban is superficial.

>Expletive in name. That barely qualifies as an expletive when just about everyone on this site has said expletives objectively worse, whether in jest or not

>His links, while spammy technically don't break any major rules. They were all educational history videos. While it is possible to postulate a more sinister motive, it would still just be making assumptions based on little evidence

>Suspicious profile. How do you determine a suspicious profile? He's new, his page in empty and as far as I can tell even his profile pic is purely random.
 
Admitting to trolling and still doing it after being called out? I think that calls for a short ban or final warning from an Admin.
 
Well, he hasn't really done much wrong, as of yet. In all fairness, 'trolling', while having heavy implications can vary from spamming gore to being mildly annoying- he seems to be leaning to the 'mildly annoying' side.

I request that we can talk to him for a moment, first. He seems like a younger user, after all, not one with cruel and malicious intent.
 
You can try to reason with him first if you wish.
 
No problem. Thank you yourself. If it doesn't work out, we will likely have to ban him.
 
Shoot, I was about to give him a proper warning of his behavior before action was taken.
 
It wouldn't have mattered. His very first contribution was a link to the thread where FANDOM chastised us about Ever's demotion and then the troll group of the time came in and caused it to descend into chaos. And he did so right after something related that I said.

He was there to start trouble. Under the above context, I'd even wager he was one of them.
 
I removed his contributions.
 
I removed the posts. Sorry about derailing.
