Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

I think that falls almost entirely to Damage to decide on as the affected party. Still, I will say that it is my opinion to generally extend mercy if they weren't a consistent offender, even in severe cases like this.

I see, I think I misread their message to Ant then (it's not entirely grammatically correct). I had thought they were admitting to IP tracking you, not referring to their ban for sockpuppeting, which was caught due to our tracking of their IP. The former would obviously be an insanely bad situation, hence why I wished to defer more or less entirely to you.

With that clarified, I would vote in favor of forgiveness, only once.
 
The defense claims that it was 2021 when they didn't know what a sock was, but May 2023 was when the sock making happened. So more recent than the incident; likewise, the thread on your wall was posted 6-7 months after the ban.

I'm neutral and wouldn't mind a 2nd chance, but it's still at least worth acknowledging the gaps being smaller than the claims at least and being off by two whole years on their defense would mathematically not add up. I'll let others think upon paying attention to those details.

So it’s okay if they are implementing changes before grace period or they should be given instructions ?

That’s not what he’s saying, he just means that the RVR is typically reserved for violations that people knowingly commit. If it’s just the user not being familiar with our rules, you can just notify them in the thread.

@NXCHT.66 when you make CRTs, every thread has a grace period. As in a period of time that you HAVE to wait, regardless of how much staff support you have on a thread. The reason is because we want to give enough time for the verse supporters to notice the thread, and comment if they choose to do so. For regular CRTs that grace period is 48 hrs, and for self-evident ones it is 24hrs. Please keep this in mind for the future.
 
I don't know if this is reportable but like, I was just minding my own business, And when i decide to open one of my Sandboxes that i am working on (Manjiro Sano A.K.A Mikey from TR), I am suddenly greeted with this type of message;

Oh that guy, I made a comment about him here:

Btw, there was another thing they mentioned:

To clarify, the username of the person they linked is "Tetsuoforsetti," and the banned user SoloKaneki, has openly admited to using the nickname "Tetsuo." This paired with the fact that both accounts seem to be interested in Tokyo Revengers, is reason for concern imo.

Regarding those 3 users, I tend to agree with M3X; let them participate under staff supervision.

I believe that this is enough evidence to prove that he’s a sock, but maybe @Antvasima should confirm.

As for what he said, rest assured, as long as all the edits you make are accepted, they’re mass reports won’t mean anything.
 
I saw him editing on the wiki before and committed acts of vandalism, such as controversially adding and removing content from pages. Not listening to staff instructions as such; that alone already qualifies for a block. Though, pretty sure that comment there just disclosed his identity nonetheless.
 
Regarding the report done by @XxZetsuxX above... I think this might be important, as the name "Tetsuo" is mentioned.

Some time ago, I received an invitation to join a Discord server, back when I used the platform, that had a few channels and a small number of members. Within this server, a group of members was engaged in a troubling activity: mass-reporting individuals who disagreed with their ideas on the wiki.

While it might seem that those falsely reported would be safe due to manual review by the staff, this doesn't totally seem like the case for what they planned on doing. The group planned to fabricate chat logs portraying their targets admitting to serious federal crimes or demonstrating a propensity for such acts. Such actions clearly violate off-site rules established by the wiki. They thought of it as a possibility that the staff might not adequately consider the innocence of the falsely accused. They were focusing on damaging their online reputation and leading to bans on the wiki, which is just one aspect of the broader issue.

I don't have any concrete evidence, such as screenshots or recordings, to substantiate this, so take it however you want. The server was either deleted or I was removed (banned or kicked) from it before I could document anything. However, I vividly recall a participant named "Tetsuo" being actively involved in these discussions.

@GarrixianXD While I can understand the frustration of the same user creating socks to override his ban and we tired of that, you should not express yourself that way. I've deleted your comment by the way.

I do apologise. Haven't been in a desirable state lately but I'll try to be the best of myself on-site.

I can only personally check if several forum accounts are registered as being used by the same individual, but you can ask the Fandom staff to evaluate IP address overlaps, and otherwise, in our wiki as well. 🙏

Also, this could be an extremely serious problem. 🙏
 
Update.

Fandom support said this.

@XxZetsuxX @RoggerReggor the user is a sock of Solo (and by extension Vapourr); they have been permanently banned across all of fandom.

Regarding your concerns about those mass reports. As others have said, that is clear harassment, but w/o vsb accounts to correspond the discord accounts too, our hands are tied unfortunately.

However, now that we’re aware of their threats. I’m sure staff will play particularly close attention to any mass reports and evaluate them with a higher degree of scrutiny so don’t fret about being framed for something.

I do think this is a ban, but to be honest, it is hard to say this is a troll. He has had a forum account since 2021. This is indefensible and not the first vulgarity this user is associated with (see previous username). Furthermore, it is a few leagues more hostile than we would usually allow ourselves to give mercy towards. But I'm unsure if I agree with a permanent, given the length of his presence here. Unless this is a more repeated thing outside of recent times, that is.

@TheLastStylebender This is unacceptable behavior, and while the matter can still be turned, you are probably going to be banned for a significant duration of time. It is still typical to offer you a chance to speak on your own behalf, should you want to.

It might be worth noting that he hasn't posted since 2022 prior to this month.

Aye, it is, I'd checked.

I don't really see context that would justify this being less than at least 1-2 years of a ban coming forward, so that's my stance. I don't agree with perma unless this is a consistent trend of behavior from this user.

It's rather suspicious that the person hasn't commented a word for a while since 2022 only for them to cuss out Damage out of nowhere
 
This user, Slenderlyn666, has since April been spamming the walls of several users and staff members including Kachon123, KingTempest, DemonGodMitchAubin, Antvasima, and myself. The message are always invariably the same in linking to some other powerscaling YouTuber and framing his messages in being warnings and trying to get our attention on this powerscaler's One Piece takes.

He also kept spamming the One Piece Talk page for a while. Despite being warned numerous times by Antvasima and myself that we really don't care and that he should stop this, and after banning him for a week when he wouldn't listen, the user continues to add more messages now to other people's walls.

I'm seeking permission to administer a lengthier punishment since this user is incapable of listening to us telling him to stop spreading this.
 
At some point, incessant pestering like this tends to fall at least in the vicinity of harassment, as we ruled similarly in the Pokemonfan situation. It doesn't help that he's also done this to the Talk page of the VS Battles Staff, which is arguably even more inappropriate.

In the same way, his pestering is not, at least, as far-reaching or insidious as PF's was, so it does feel a shame to ban people for it. Still, I'd agree with a lengthier ban, perhaps a month or two. Maybe the message sticks that nobody gives a shit, and that it is inappropriate to aggressively engage with people like so, or maybe he just goes to another wiki that will listen to his ramblings. Either way, you have my support.
