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:

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.

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.
 
We usually cut off the threads at a little over 400 posts.
 
I mass-deleted his (or her) posts by using WHAM.
 
Even if it is, we can't really punish the person who made it, Numbersguy isn't here anymore. Unless someone else put in the plagarized text.
 
That doesn't sound like it belongs on Rule Violations report, but rather its own Content Revision.
 
Yes, it is a content revision issue.
 
It seems like a Human Resources group decision, due to that he tried to get other people banned with out of context screenshots. It is too bad though, as he was otherwise a rational and productive member.
 
I think that they will talk with him in private about it though.
 
I will talk in private about it with Kaltias.

For a first time offense (If it's true), 999 years seems waaaay to much.
It's pretty sketchy when Kaltias missed out on some context and didn't ask Imade about anything about this, and now has to PM to figure stuff out.
 
Yeah, people make mistakes.

Now if you guys were kind enough to wait you'd be doing a favor to everyone involved because it'd be dealt with faster and more easily.
 
Yes, let's wait and let me, Kaltias, IMade and the HR group try to sort this out in private.
 
Kaltias is currently dealing with real life issues, and the other HR group members have not been very available recently, so he likely got a bit stressed. Regardless, please let him further investigate this in peace.
 
I did. It simply looks like i missed some context.

But as i said, discussion here does not matter either way, if something will change, it will be due to what comes out of my discussion with IMade
 
Yes, let's drop the argument here.

Numbers told me on Discord that at the time he made the article, he really did copy the text from wikipedia but either it was allowed back then or he wasn't aware that it wasn't.
 
Kaltias is talking with him. If IMade is innocent he will be unbanned, but from what I remember (It has been a while) he sent us out of context screencaptures to get some Naruto fans here banned, which showed something else entirely when reading the entire related conversations.

This issue will be handled. Rushing it and inciting drama will not do any good.
 
>if imade is innocent he will be unbanned

The correct answer would be "if he is guilty he will be "banned"

Also about inciting drama, I'd like to remind you that it is the staffs fault in the first place any drama exists in the first place. Which is funnily the reason imade was banned.
 
As far as I understand, Kaltias already evaluated this issue together with the rest of the available HR group members, and so far it regrettably seems like IMade is guilty. Kaltias was also in a hurry due to real world issues that we should not discuss in public.

In any case, blaming the staff for trying to do their job isn't going to lead anywhere. I also think that it is not good at all that IMade did this, as he was otherwise a productive and rational member, at least within the wiki, but if he severely broke basic rules of conduct, and the HR group decided that he should be banned, it is up to them to decide, not myself.

That said, again, I would recommend that IMade collaborates with Kaltias to discuss the issue in private. If it turns out that he is innocent he will be unbanned. It is not like a few days off the wiki is such a big deal. This is hardly remotely a prison sentence.
 
In any case, let's drop this issue for the time being. Bothering me about this isn't going to make any difference. It is not part of my responsibilities to interfere with the HR group.
 
I banned him and mass-deleted his posts.
