Forum:Watch List

Notice and How This Works
With the influx of vandalism and griefing from unregistered wikia contributors, I originally thought of switching this wiki to a registered only contribution wiki, but that would kill some of our unique sources of information that this wiki needs to stay alive. In light of that I came up with an alternative solution: The Watchlist. If you see a wiki contributor wantonly hurt this wiki post his name/ip address here, from there I will issue a warning ban (1-3 day block). If they continue to vandalize after recieving a warning, then they will recieve a major block (6 months - 1 year). After that time I would have hoped they have lost interest in this wiki, if not I will applaud your dedication to being a jerk.

That aside, in order for this to work you must not only post the ip address, but also the reason for being placed on watchlist, whether it is a link to their mis-doings, or just a typed reason why, otherwise I can't block them in good-faith.

Next, Condition no. 2 for you to place names on the watchlist, you must also post your name next to it, to show you are a registered wiki contributor, otherwise the ip addresses/ names will not be considered.

I realize the extra work this system requires but I would  rather this wiki remain open to unknown wiki contributors, rather than have only registered users.

Under Surveillance
I made this section to list "guilty" IPs and/or Users, who do some harm to our page, but they aren't worth a warning ban. You do get a message to stop. Complete details in Comment section below.

 * I just posted some people who I've seen vandalized and have all their vandal be undone. Since I haven't seen their IP posted here, so I'll post it. Ethrundr (talk) 10:24, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Another two IPs posted. The first one vandalize the page while the second is intended to remove the vandal, but instead of reverting the vandal performed before, he just delete the vandal without recorvering the original information. In my opinion the second one just deserve light warning and not banning. Ethrundr (talk) 03:13, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Should the second IP you posted really be listed though? It was just a clumsy attempt to fix something, while being aware of the undo function.
 * I agree with this and deem it unnecessary to ban him, vandalism isn't just making mistakes on this wiki it is willful harm like replacing an entire page with the word "poop," while he didn't fix the problem I feel he didn't have malice, which is the most important factor in banning, imo.Dim1 (talk) 09:29, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, actually I don't want to list him at the first place, just for your info, the very first IP (the one Dim1 posted) in this list is also do the same thing with the second IP which I just reported today. He just trying remove all vandals, but he unable to retrieve the old information, so what he do just erase the vandals but no information recorvery. Also, one addition, I think all who post here will also need to post their signature, even for admins and pagemakers. This is forum page after all. Ethrundr (talk) 07:38, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Posted 2 IPs, who are the same people. They seem to have a dynamic IP, as they changed their IP just to vandalise the same page. I advise, that if possible use a wildcard to ban them (220.255.1.*) Though, I don't know how Wikia's ban system works, so this may not be possible.
 * If we can't use wildcard, I think we can ban each of the dynamic IPs he has. Eventually he'll out of IP to vandalize the wiki. Also, if one of his dynamic IP is appearing again, it's a proof that he intendedly want to vandalize the wiki, and then he deserve what Dim1 called as "ban hammer of justice". Oh yeah, I also reported another pair before, they both put some major swearing in Indonesian Language in Sword Art Online page, while having the original content replaced. About the decision what we need do to them, I leave it to our mighty admins. Ethrundr (talk) 04:06, December 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Two new pair of IPs posting reason: the first IP, in my opinion, actually do no harm directly to the wikia. He just repeatedly do this thing about 2-3 times: edit a page by adding one useless point, submit the edit, re-edit the page by deleting that useless part. I believe he doing it to increase his edit count. Since I don't have any idea what to do with this kind of guy, so I decided to post it here and leave the judgement to admins. For the second IP, he post some sort of swearing in one of our page, and thus I believe he should be warned. Ethrundr (talk) 03:06, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think he was doing it more as a joke, but since he removed his work, I call no harm no foul, but if it escalates then he's like any other vandal we block him. That aside thanks for the vigilance. Dim1 (talk) 03:12, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * TUSF the 2nd ip i dont think that edit was on purpose. it seemed morel ike a mistake, but that was just the feeling I got. The first Ip got a reduced ban due to he undid his work, but he added in a statement unrelated. so 1 day ban instead of the regular 3 day, I think I handled it as fairly as possible unless you have anything you wanted to add about the vandals you posted.Dim1 (talk) 07:42, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * I just added one that I found, but I think I'll need a quick course on how this work,  I understand this more or less. He added content, but erased it, two times, so IDK what the sanction could be.KDTV (talk) 13:04, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Since he removed his own work, he not worth the ban (unless he has done the same thing previously). That's also why I create the "Under Surveillance" section, to keep list of these kind of people, so when they do the same thing again, we can simply put them in the watch list.

About Under Surveillance Subsection: I've added a sub-heading under the "Watch List" section, called "Under Surveillance".

Any IP or user listed under this section is not worthy to be issued with warning bans, but they have given some proof to make us not believe them in editing and thus, we need keep eye on them. These are the list (but not limited) of actions that I think worth to be listed: Ethrundr (talk) 17:26, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Posting useless comment on Talk Page
 * Vandalize a page, but they have the vandal being undone by themselves
 * Mistakenly repair vandalized page by deleteing all information
 * Do countless (and worthless) edits, just to pile up their edit counts
