Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

The identifier numbers are five digits long, Discord has only ever used four. Furthermore, from what I can gather based on my observations in verifying accounts, it seems like Fandom occasionally automatically generates a phony Discord handle for users- I don't know what conditions would require this, but over half of the time an account has a Discord handle attached to it, it is just their username on Fandom followed by five digits (making it invalid).
That's super odd. Thanks for the info. Nix the discord part then, fortunately the rest is fairly decisive.
 
I have looked at it now. I think you are correct. Here are the relevant points of overlap:

1) Both primarily comment on Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, and Naruto
2) Both are rude
3) The SeiyaRyuSeiKen account has the nickname "Hades"
4) Both have insulted the wiki as a whole
5) Both have said they've been "watching the wiki for years" before making an account.
6) Both are named after Saint Seiya characters.

That's sufficient for me. This is indeed a sock of that user, and should thus likely be permanently banned.
I agree with these points

User posted softcore pornography to a thread. It warrants, at best, a stern warning, and at worst an outright short ban.

Left them a warning.

I think a removal of the post + a warning sounds better.
 
This user has already been warned for changing statistics without a CRT.

I gave them a 3 month block.

A stern warning should probably be sufficient, as it didn't feature real world people, or anything particularly offensive. There wasn't even any outright nudity, and except for the man wearing a chain collar, it seemed rather tasteful.
 
Bump

The situation persists, Dr. Whitee wants to keep invalidating the votes of me, Dalesan, Maverick and Deagon, forcing us to clarify our votes after having explicitly said that we are against the use of Buddhism in JJK, and saying that they are invalid just because he gave his reasons and we did not agree with them, currently the thread is a back and forth and full circle with most staff and members disagreeing with the use of Buddhism but keep trying to invalidate the votes to keep the thread going.
Has any warnings been given? If valid reasons were given but Dr. Whitee continues to invalidate them then a warning should suffice.

Just so you know, it was acknowledged by both Deagon here and here as well as by me here.
Also Dr. White's report start here,
I should mention that there are many attempts to try to nullify/invalidate my vote and that of the other staffs by Dr. White and TheGunsFinalWrath with the excuse that we don't know what we are talking about and that we are simply not right, or the people with whom we agree did not read the thread, etcetera... It's a little annoying that insistence and continues despite having given advices to stop with that attitude.
And it's not only him who's trying to invalidate our votes but also TheGunsFinalWrath-

I just saw TheGunsFinalWrath's long post towards Maitreya about them using a fallacy... and I'm not even sure what to make of it honestly. They both seemed to come off with a condescending attitude (If that's the right word for it) even if they don't mean to and two staff members already commented against their behavior (You and Deagon). Right now, things seemed to have haulted with Deagon being the last to comment it seems.

In my opinion, I'd say there on thin ice and depending on how they decide to continue on that thread. I don't know much about the topic being discussed (I only gave a brief look at the OP previously before the thread got to where it is now) but the method they are approching the counter arguments with isn't the right way. I might be being to generous but I'm willing to wait and see how they further respond. If others disagree, feel free to make suggestions, I'll try watching the thread more to say updated.
 

This user kept editing the statistics of profiles after being warned.

Edit: Check the history page for yourself and you'll see they've done a lot of unsolicited stat changes as well as edits that damaged the profile quality.

They replied to Ant's message in their wall, based on their response I think I wouldn't mind giving them one more chance, if they keep editing then I think short ban would be in order.
 

Change to profile without a CRT.

Yes. They seem to be very clueless rather than malicious, but if they continue to cause problems, we will have to ban them.
 
What do you mean by virus? Many pirate websites have annoying popups, it could be unintentional.
It was not a pirate website. And if it was, it would have to be removed anyway for illegal distribution. It was a MediaFire link, and several members (who I also had to delete the comments of due to having quoted the post with the link) attested to getting a virus after downloading it.
 
I permanently blocked both his Fandom and VSBW forum accounts.


Thank you for helping out, Dark_Soul20189 and DarkGrath. 🙏🙂❤️
Doomrider7 has sent us a message about this:

"I would like to speak up on my ban that I had not knowingly attempted to spread viruses or malware and apologize for any problems caused. Other than the website linked(which does have its issues), I have no idea what caused the issue since the link is just a common zip file with screenshots of the artbook in question(which I will not disagree that it runs afoul of other rules). Again, I am sorry that it caused problems, but it was not my intention nor did I intend to spread malware and just wanted to share something I thought was cool with the community."

A quick scan on VirusTotal told me that despite having 1 detection alone still seems to have some malicious treat (and another suspicious one), could be a false positive? Perhaps but still.
 
So what do you all (in our staff) think that we should do here?
Was this one of their first offences? If this was the first time this happened and they have had no previous sus actions that would lean towards them doing this intentionally, I'd argue they deserve a second chance but that's my opinion.
 
I do not think that they have done anything ban-worthy previously.
Then I'm fine with giving them a second chance under the assumption that this was unintentional but obviously if it happens again or something similar occurs, then they get banned. However, if other staff members don't want to risk the hassle, I'm not going to complain if they disagree.
 
Okay. I would appreciate input from other staff members as well then. 🙏
