We do lock all popular and higher tier characters.
That doesn't stop trolls showing up and trolling in discussion threads, message walls, and the chat.
This hopefully will.

Something along those lines was discussed at one point (locking a lot of pages, I mean). The staff rejected the idea on the grounds that it would make the wiki too undemocratic.Mindovin said:

The current system of open editing admittedly causes me to turn overworked, as I handle most of the edit-monitoring in this wiki, but the alternative that you suggest would also turn the wiki very inefficient, as the staff would have to handle all content revisions on their own.Mindovin said:

I'm getting people like this guy on another wiki I run, but dang. Never seen someone so wholly dedicated to being an a-hole.

@Monarch
I worded poorly. I mentioned all pages like popular and higher tier characters.
Of course, in the end, you know more accurate as a staff member but imo you should go the route of what it's easier to do.
@SB
IIRC, even staff members must create a revision thread and gain approval of 1 staff member at least before making a change, so I don't think is all about democracy or something like that.
Also, I don't think range IP block is effective that much in the end because there are ways to someone change IP and even countries, even so.
Also, topics spot on.

@Mind You worded it fine actually. I misread it.
As Ant said, locking every page would be unfair and too controlling to non-staff members, and it would also result in an increased workload for staff members.

There is a specific, better left unnamed, individual who has made it his main task to hatemonger against our community for over 3.5 years.Dargoo Faust said:
There is another who spent 6-7 months uploading a few thousand **** videos with the vsbattles wiki tag, just so they would show up among the search results when people Google for the wiki.
They are definitely more dedicated.

Oh, no, I was amazed at the account plauging this wiki, not comparing it to mine.
Sorry if that came off wrong.

We may have to highlight this thread again in a week, after the automatic time limit runs out, just to make sure that almost all of our members know about this, and can tell the ones who do not and message them questions about it.

My email was already confirmed, but this seems like a good idea for the wiki to combat the socks, ppl really spending the time to make 70 sock puppets have no lives.

I think that only works for discussion threads and editing things. Newly created accounts can enter chat immediately from what I understand.

Wait, but I thought new users are not able to comment right away. It takes a few days for them to be able to comment, right? I mean, it happened to me.
Hmmn? It didn't happen to me.
