Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

[Mr. Bambu]

This guy is a bit rude.

I do agree that he's out of line, but I also wish to suggest, to you, to not approach a matter of disagreement like that in the future. In the replies, it looks like you sort of stonewall the CGM's opinion by repeatedly stating "I think that's a highball"; it's your right to believe that, but you can't just keep saying that and expect the evaluation to change. Agitation at that can lead to aggression. It's still his rule violation, I just think, in the future, it would be more worth your time to pursue another eval if you have reason to disagree with the current one, but the current one remains static in their position.

I'll post on the blog telling him to knock it off.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

For now, I will tag @Dragopentling and say that ideally, we would be linking to specific edits on these profiles; I do note that most of the ones performed by the accused user do not link to any CRT for justifying them, but I am curious which ones in particular are accused of being related to a CRT, and then adding things outside the bounds of said CRT.

On this subject. Dragopentling has contacted me privately and stated refusal to engage with this himself. As such, he gave me a post to evaluate. I'm going to post that here, and we can address this.

I'm aware of the tag you gave via request by this guy.

He created this downgrade CRT btw and he did what he did because he's aware i was reported before and clearly wants to take advantage and have me silenced before this matter with this CRT is even settled. You can take a look for yourself with the kind of behavior he's shown here soon after. https://vsbattles.com/threads/blue-archive-high-1-b-downgrade.185562/

If you want to go into regards to the revisions, it is because I had forgotten to add those to the first CRT and was going to make another one for them. I jumped the gun, basically.

EDIT: nvm he's already contacted you about it before on Message Wall. That's more reason as to why I DMing here instead of replying on forums because why would I want to continue directly interacting with someone actively out to harm me.

Also funny that he tallies the vote of someone who has actively done actual sabotage to one of those said profiles around or before that CRT was started

I can't say much more than that because again I don't want to interact with that guy again especially with his attitude as well as him admitting to have used AI multiple times. I'm sorry, I have a massive dislike and need for avoidance with anyone resorting to AI usage like that.

This was followed up with a bit later.

One more thing.
I need to emphasize again how much I can only see that guy as very hostile and confrontational when convenient.

1. Creates a downgrade thread (allegedly out of spite for said verse)
2. Makes roundabout arguments that only unknowledegeable non-staff members have agreed.
3. Claims to be simply "acting accordingly" with his confrontational replies, yet promptly decides to report me during one of his numerous replies while thread is still ongoing.
4. His last response to me starts with "This is the last time I will reply to you" and essentially admitting to using AI for his messages. Despite this, he is still willingly confronting and replying to others responding in the same thread rightfully pointing him out for being in the wrong. This by itself is VERY telling of his purposeful attitude towards me. This is no speculation or anything of the sort, you can literally check through that thread again and again to see how he is, including the comments he presses Like for.

I dunno exactly how AI is viewed here and honestly I don't agree with how passively related cases are handled on this site, given my dislike for its usage in general (specifically generative AI), but again, I rather not want to have my time and livelihood be wasted on dealing with spiteful individuals like that.

One more thing, if I was him, wouldn't it be more reasonable to wait for that specific thread to conclude BEFORE issuing a report submission like that? Again, this implies he clearly knew about me being reported before, and wants to take advantage of that and put me in an undesirable situation. I don't know what the proper judgment is here, but it wouldn't be out of line to say his intent is to completely shut me down and out of the community and wiki, and possibly be even more emboldened to continue such behavior with other people here.

If this tangent comes off too personal, I apologize, but I genuinely feel unsafe with that individual around being allowed to get what he wants.

My opinion on the subject:

• In this case, the use of AI seems obviously irrelevant. Whatever personal ethics exist for the individual, as a wiki we have not made any rules regarding the use of AI, particularly for composing one's words for ESL users.
• I don't find Einel's behavior in the first linked thread to be combative; granted, this seems more steeped in context than most situations, but I do not currently believe it was posted deliberately to spite, but rather because of a differing opinion. Dragopentling first posted on that thread defensively (accusing it to be "personally driven" and a "nothingburger"), and so I don't find Einel's own responses to be particularly bad.
• Dragopentling appears to admit to doing the accused action, but under the pretense of having forgotten to include these things in one CRT, and forgotten to then make a follow-up CRT to add them properly.

If there is a personal element to these CRTs, that needs to be dealt with. Things should not be argued out of context for the sake of a petty feud. However, from what I see currently, Einel's behavior is not in-line with what I would expect in a case of spite. As it stands, Dragopentling has admitted to vandalism, albeit from ostensibly good intentions; still, given the past warning for practically the same thing, I think at least some action must be taken to reprimand this behavior, and to encourage being much more careful in the future, if these edits are indeed benevolent. I would recommend a ban of 1-2 months.

If it's genuinely not malicious, I think it makes sense to aim for a month or less.

We want to make it very clear how serious we take this, but don't necessarily want to keep a well-intentioned member away from the wiki for longer than needed.

Also, as a general note, 'AI detectors' are very unreliable and output countless false-positives, especially if the person writing is neurodivergent or otherwise writes very formally.

For example, it thought the above text was written 37% by AI, but of course I just tend to write like a failing college professor.

It's worth noting that I believe Einel admitted to using AI to assist his writing. Like I said, this just isn't a rule violation, excluding when it's done for translating official material for use in profiles. Using AI to help you speak a language you might not have a 100% grasp on is a choice that falls entirely to you.

As this is a case with no ambiguity as to whether the "crime" was done, and we both agree that it can probably be handled with a degree of leniency, I will apply the ban now.

Indeed, it happened to be right in this instance, I just meant for the future it's not a reliable way to tell, and thus doesn't hold much weight as actual evidence.

They typically just check for notes of traditional formal writing since that's mostly what ChatGPT was trained on, but of course ChatGPT didn't get these habits from nowhere, and a lot of people simply do genuinely write 'like an AI' and are the ones who indirectly gave it those traits to begin with.

For example, it loves em dashes because real humans who write books also love(d) em dashes, and loves 'this, not X' because it's a common trope in journalism.

 

[Maniaunavailable]

Heyo, I helped with the blue archive profiles, I just followed orders because I was told it was approved (not attacking the OP, just clarifying it). So yeah I take accountability for my actions, my bad

 

[Antvasima]

This user created a downgrade CRT in response to my own as if timely fashion, which is fine and all to begin with.

However, soon after, they have decided to promptly report me for "sabotage" of profiles despite the approval from the previous CRT. Is this even allowed? It's like they're trying to silence and attack me before I can even give any proper venue or counterargument.

Is AI-generated replies allowed?

I'll give it a shot. He was very Reactive as I've indicated before, making a downgrade CRT, promptly saying he's reporting me and clearly wants me punished harshly for "violations" so to silence me. If he was more level-headed, he would've stuck to simple level headed discussions in the downgrade CRT and not this.

One more time. The guy seems to be already aware that I was reported once before, and wants to capitalize rightaway by having me reported again to silence me. Someone already noted this to me on discord cause that's what that guy wants.

I received a few private messages regarding this issue.

 

[EinelRendezvous]

I received a few private messages regarding this issue.

Can I clarify it myself? I feel like he thinks I had a personal problem with him. But no. I don't even know him and I just get to Wiki again to downgrade the verse purely based on my judgement with the scans. I also has provided (above) that the main argument in my thread is not AI generated (I collect the feats for hours as well). And I have stopped using AI to translate for me to compose words here.

Also the reason I contacted many staffs before, it's not because I want to silence him. It's because I afraid I'll forget it. The truth is, he's still open to debate in that thread (and I respond him without any malice intention; once again, I don't have any personal grudge).

I feel like it's wrong to suggest myself to do hateful acts towards him. I treat him with respect as well in my thread.

 

[EinelRendezvous]

Also I don't want to silence him by reporting his violation. @FantaRin_The_First helped me to make a report about him. He had done multiple times vandalizing profiles (there's even a comment in here that helped make things more clear about this vandalizing stuff). That's clearly not my mistake. And I reported that not to spite him, but about he's own act that against the rules. I dunno why he thinks I do it like I had a personal problems. He's also the one who treat my thread as "nothingburger" and suddenly accuse me (just like @Mr. Bambu explanation and you can see it yourself in my thread).

Also him saying "It's like they're trying to silence and attack me before I can even give any proper venue or counterargument." Pretty much wrong -- He had done writes multiple long arguments and debating it with me before I reported him here. The only part where I said I'll report him because it was referring to the profile he vandalized (he debated the part that he vandalized with me as if it was valid afterall).

This site is just a hobby for most, you should probably take some time and cool down. No need to be super aggressive, especially when you haven't been insulted in any way (@Lilybitdun was just asking for timestamps on the video) If you continue to behave this way, you'll likely be banned so please tone down the language as well.

 

[FinePoint]

It's not my fault if your members are stupid and bastards to the point of not being able to see that I'm clearly doing the credits correctly and linking all the achievements correctly.

I understand your frustration, but there are civil ways to get the same message across.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're just too heated right now, and not advocate for any further punishment if you stop now, but taking this kind of hostility to the RVRT and doubling down is very bad for your case. Your history indicates that you have put some considerable work into this, so I believe you're passionate about it, and it would be a shame if a simple disagreement like this halted all significant progress.

If you're going through a hard time, or need any help composing yourself, feel free to reach out to me privately. I am not easily offended and we could talk through a more productive path forward.

 

[Lilybitdun]

I didn't want to say anything but I do wanna clarify.
When I had made the message the second video didn't play the 32 second clip of the scan, it instead played at the start of the full video. I was just wanting to help correct a minor mistake.
Checking the thread now it seems to have gotten corrected anyways, must've been a problem with the forum (I've had times where site doesn't embed my links properly before) since the post wasn't edited

 

[Lilybitdun]

I hadn't realized at the time that it was caused by embed problems and had thought it was due to forgetting to copy the "Copy video URL at current time".
I realize now that it could've come off as rude for Gyozu in that context. Sorry about that

Once this is the response to a direct warning, the window closes. Initially, I had just banned this user for this- this is insanely out of line! This is so obviously a bannable response that I'm not sure why I undid that ban I just put through.

Because FinePoint offered what I will call divine benevolence in reaction to this, I will respect that ruling, but this is absolutely unacceptable behavior, and in practically any circumstance would be met with an immediate and permanent ban. You, Gyozu, need to respect the rules. It is not up for debate. We are not a daycare. We do not owe you a place in the community.

The matter can be considered closed. I will add this to the Warning Tracker if it has not been added already.

Delete my posts right here. Delete my posts without discovering the truth and silence me so I can't tell the truth about my story, you prejudiced ableists. As if that weird and stupid bot and AI from Antvassima wasn't enough, distorting everything I say just because of its cheap moralism, are you also going to be like Crossverse Wiki and be disgusting, prejudiced, and intolerant ableists? Silence me even without knowing my side of the story, you prejudiced ableists.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Let it be known that the referenced deleted post was further pot-stirring from this user. Let it also be known that I've gone ahead and Old Yeller'd the account because this is now the third instance of pot-stirring and random outrage and I feel this isn't going anywhere productive. We are still not a daycare. Didn't figure it would turn out well to give a warning the first time he ignored the rules, to be vindicated is among the greatest glories man can hope to graze in these heavenly spheres or whatever.

Moving on.

 

[FinePoint]

For the record, I am self-aware that I am probably too forgiving and understanding in general. I consider it a double-edged sword of a character trait in being both a virtue and potential flaw at the same time.

If it seems I am being too lenient, you needn't put so much weight on my opinion that you go against your own best judgement. I'm also very receptive to the opinions of other staff and if others think that a harsher punishment is more fitting I will not be upset or anything.

Just a note for the future. This particular case is obviously closed.

I have a bad conscience about that we might have been too draconian in giving a permanent ban for what were not very serious offences. Maybe it would be better to lessen the ban length to 2 or 3 months instead, so Gyozu does not have to feel completely excluded from something that helps them from being isolated and becoming more mentally unstable?

Ant, mental instability is not a free get-out-of-jail card. Mental instability should be even more of a reason for him to not come back to the wiki and instead to seek professional help, especially after he insulted staff TWICE in the RVT (He even insulted you). He straight up has no intention of improving himself post-ban with the behavior he exhibited. Doesn't matter how much he likes powerscaling, this kind of behavior is simply unacceptable.

In no way shape or form does this look to be someone who wants to contribute to the wiki. If he really cared, he should have apologized to everyone in this thread (Including all staff present) and promised not to lose his cool again like he did over a simple misunderstanding by Lily.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, they did not insult me severely, and certainly not enough for me to consider it permanent ban-worthy in itself.

 

[KLOL506]

In any case I will leave it up to the admins and Bambu to decide.

[Vzearr]

Okay I don't know what was said but Ant said it wasn't to severe so I'll go off of that.

Ant, mental instability is not a free get-out-of-jail card. Mental instability should be even more of a reason for him to not come back to the wiki and instead to seek professional help, especially after he insulted staff TWICE in the RVT (He even insulted you).

You're right, mental instability is never a free get-out-of-jail-card, but it's damn right a reconsideration of what happens to him.

Banning him for 3 months is more fair if anything, insulting staff is never this deep, we are not a draconian site of people who believe anyone who insults staff deserves to be banned forever. Neither are we a site who should dictate what someone who is insulted thinks, Ant knows himself, and although he is a bit too kind at times, he is not stupid. He believes the insult wasn't too severe and I'm sure the other insult of similar means wasn't too severe.

If we're seriously banning someone permanently from a hobby because they bloody get upset at the hobby we are far too harsh! Not only does it make them more happy, but it could lead to mental instability, that is a lot harder then people on this site claim it is.

I know you've probably gone through periods of mental instability, and so you should know that no one deserves to go through that over an insult that didn't affect the person!

What he did is wrong, and is definitely worth a ban! A permanent ban? No.

He straight up has no intention of improving himself post-ban with the behavior he exhibited. Doesn't matter how much he likes powerscaling, this kind of behavior is simply unacceptable.

That's a presupposition, are we really going to base a permanent ban of off a presuppositional claim. The answer should be no!

In no way shape or form does this look to be someone who wants to contribute to the wiki.

It's a hobby, why are we acting like someone needs to contribute to the wiki to be able to stay on the wiki!

If he really cared, he should have apologized to everyone in this thread (Including all staff present) and promised not to lose his cool again like he did over a simple misunderstanding by Lily.

You're right, he definitely should! However just because of that he doesn't deserve to be banned permanently.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Well, they did not insult me severely, and certainly not enough for me to consider it permanent ban-worthy in itself.

I didn't ban him because he insulted you, I banned him because he acted poorly, was warned, reacted to that warning by doubling down, and only calmed down a tiny bit later. And then exploded again when his poor reaction before was deleted.

To an extent, I can understand caring about the mental instability of our users, but we must be given a base case of one's abilities to behave. We can't endorse users acting extremely badly and then justifying it by saying "well I'm having a bad day" or "well I'm not so well mentally". We can't confirm these things, nor can we assume someone facing punishment is going to be honest.

If a user is generally well behaved, acts out, and then says that they were just having a hard week and lashed out, they apologize and act the adult, that's a valid excuse in that case and I'd be in favor of potentially just ignoring the offense if it was a one-off. But in this instance, a relatively new user just abuses everyone around him at no provocation.

My vote would be to keep him banned. It isn't draconian to expect basic decency. He had three quick-fire offenses before action was taken.

 

[Qawsedf234]

In any case I will leave it up to the admins and Bambu to decide

Reading everything they have under 50 messages, their first CRT involved them immediately crashing out on a user who said the second linked video doesn't lead to a feat, and then tripling down on the subject.

Unbanning doesn't make sense to me and they never really apologized or admitted fault for them acting out of line, they just deflected. They had a similar thing with Ant a few months ago where they crashed out over an emoji.

The ban being rescinded makes no sense to me, however, if you want to go from a permanent ban to a one~ year ban I would get that. It's their first rule violation on-site.
