Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

With that explanation out of the way, I believe we should likely threadban @TheMonkeMan from the RVR. He returned from a ban 8 days ago, and since then he has made 7 comments here, 5 of which were deleted, none of which were necessary.

One:
Not to be rude, but I request that you do not ping me.
Two: When did this even happen?
And three: If you want to threadban me, just go ahead dude, it's not a big problem and I won't even try to protest to it, I don't care enough.

I'm making an RVR report so I am obligated to notify you in some regard.

The tracker went up a couple weeks ago, and the discussion about how to handle the problem in RVR occurred before that in private.

Very well, thank you for making this simpler. I will do so now.
 
This user has a total of 6 edits, and has removed time stop from a bunch of Xenoblade profiles. They also keep messing with the code for other links on these profiles though I'd assume thats on accident. I am completely unfamilar with the verse, but it appears as though there was no CRT.

I have reverted the edits, and someone should probably give them a heads up. For what its worth, I dont think they are ill-willed because they dont appear to be aware of the external forum.

Antvasima posted on his wall, and I also commented.
 
A new user made edits to the Levi Akerman page seemingly without a CRT and with no linked sources or calcs to back up said ratings.
This is their first edit on the wiki and it's from a new account so I don't believe they are aware of how things work on the Wiki.
In all likelihood it's probably a young inexperienced user who is unfamiliar with Wiki rules.
I have since reverted the edits

I believe a warning is appropriate

This user added wide-sweeping changes to Jugram Haschwalth's profile without a CRT. I don't believe this was done with harmful intent however given the amount of un-troll like work that was done to the profile, such as adding new categories for new abilities, helpful grammatical changes etc. It just seems like they are an inexperienced user who doesn't understand how we operate with our profiles. A warning and explanation of how we run things on the wiki should be sufficient.

Not sure if this should be considered report-worthy, but I figure I should ask.

The user @Tyloxtus (wiki message wall here) has repeatedly had issues creating and editing pages. After adding them all to the warning tracker, they've been warned a total of 17 times over the past 18 months. This has continued even today, where I just now deleted a page of theirs.

These warnings have covered a decent variety of issues, but from early on there's been issues that are still present today (not including calculations for statistics).

What should be done, if anything? And if nothing should be done, when should I come back to ask if something should be done?

Bruh we've literally told him that profile won't cut it and isn't up to par for wiki standards at all in the Legend Of Zelda discussion thread so this definitely isn't an unknown issue on his part
 
While some of those editing mistakes are fairly minor, that's a pretty staggering amount of mistakes. Cursory judgement tells me that he seems like a decent enough user aside from his apparent trouble with editing to our standards, perhaps we could simply disbar him from editing pages (henceforth considering that a rule violation) until we decide he seems capable of doing so on his own? He could still make use of sandboxes and ask for more skilled users to handle any revisions he's a part of.

I'd rather not take actual action, as it seems to me he is... trying, at least, to comply with quality issues.

Yeah okay, not listening to that feedback makes me less hopeful that the "run your profiles past other people first" idea will work, but ig it could still be worth a shot.

Will wait for more feedback before applying it.

I honestly think we should better define what constitutes needing a CRT. For the mods it might look like a crazy change, but in the context of the verse it might just seem like the most obvious change in the world. Right now it's pretty subjective on what "controversial enough to need a CRT" even is.

I had already posted it by the time you told me that.

Oh I'm not hawking you there, you're absolutely correct. We didn't know you were making it at all before you posted it but its the comments after that were meh

That said I know you've been wanting thisr to progress and to help with the verse so I personally am not really tripping

As I've seen it implemented in the last few years, the changes that don't need CRTs are ones that don't involve changing abilities and stats. Adding extra justifications, examples, fixing grammar, etc. is fine. Although we are more lenient if the person making those substantial changes created the page themselves, and did so recently (in the past few weeks), due to forgetting something when first posting it.

I say "in the last few years" since we used to be a lot looser with that, but for the time you've been on the wiki, I think we've been that strict.
 
Tyloxtus seems to be trying hard/make a genuine effort, yes. Their editing skills and familiarity with our rules just don't seem quite acceptable yet.
 
Then,

I'd still like any input on the Tyloxtus situation.

If I get none, I'll declare that he can't edit or create pages without approval from another user for 3 months.
