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:

https://gyazo.com

https://imgur.com/

https://pasteboard.co

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, alternately tracks your IP address and location. If you are uncertain, please use this page to verify that the links are not dangerous.

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.

I also agree permabanning Missy would be too much. But given how he has continued doing the exact same thing after being told many times by staff to stop, in addition to already having been banned in the past for not listening to warnings, a ban is totally needed, a couple of months at least.
 
Okay. What do the rest of you think? And is somebody willing to handle it?

I disagree. If banning him once didn't do anything, why would a second ban?
 
I have no idea why the trolls are so obsessed with me. I think that I am fairly harmless nowadays. Oh well.
 
But I am not running the wiki. I am more like an organiser and general handyman janitor. NoGround is higher ranked than me, and the Fandom staff are above him, and above them there is the CEO of Fandom. It is ridiculous to obsess about me to this degree for several years.
 
Not from an outsider's view. You're always the one who makes the essential threads (IE. The RVRs), you're the one whose word is (usually) treated as final, and your opinion is highly respected by everyone. As far as as bored internet trolls can tell at a glance, you're the boss.


Also, ableism.
 
Considering the fact that you are by far the most active and most watchful of site policy (And a bureaucrat) it is probably why they assume you are the "manager". It's not like trolls really care about the actual order of staff anyways.
 
But I am outvoted a lot of the time, other staff members can easily overrule me in a group, especially bureaucrats and administrators, and I am not giving anyone orders. I am not acting like any real boss, and I do not have the best sense of judgement. I am just working hard to keep things running.

Yes, but I am not some sort of overlord, I am not giving orders, and I have never claimed to run the wiki. The CEO of Fandom runs the wiki. I am just an unpaid janitor.
 
Okay. I will drop this then. I just find the entire situation very weird, given for how long they have been at this.
 
Simply put, you're a figurehead. Even if you possess no more power than admins, you're still one of the most active and visible members of the administration, and trolls don't really care about who's actually in charge, just who's the most visibly important.
