Report Vandalism

[WugHD]

Hey there fellow editors!

Tired of those vandalous edits and no Sysop online?

Please leave us a message on this thread with a link to the user/Contribution page so we can investigate the matter in the most rapid way possible.

You can report anything ranging from the deletion of perfectly fine articles to vandalising posse pages. Also if you have any questions feel free to contact me on my talk page.

~Sincerely WugHD

Is this legal? I mean, it can hardly be called serious.

Posses don't have to be serious, as long as they're not offensive.

Let them do it. They're obviously idiot kids that for some reason finds it funny. Pure newfags. On the off chance they aren't, you'd still want to leave it, or they'll go balls mad and vandalize the wiki as much as they can.

One of the few reasons one may ban an user for said reason on their Posse/talk/user pages is if they are Clearly racist, Are directly insulting a wiki user or ofcourse breaking US law.

[KristofferAG]

As far as I can see, they're not breaking the rules. Then again, they are linking to /b/ on 4chan, notorious for everything from pornography to gore. Removing the link could fix that.

[gboyers]

Think of the purpose of the rules. Is this content damaging the wiki, its members, or its reputation? If it is, then you should have no doubt about dealing with it. If not, then they're causing no harm.

Someone could take objection to some of the content on that page - specifically "newfags" (whether or not they understand the meaning).

Their posse also shows no signs of having anything to do with RDR, so there's no reason for us to host it. We wouldn't host someone's personal website, just cos they put the word "posse" somewhere on the page.

I vote a friendly delete.

[KristofferAG]

Sadly, a lot of the others posses also show signs of having little to nothing to do with RDR. If we want to be picky and take out anything that might be offensive on the posse pages, as well as those that don't look like they have much to do with RDR, we'd have to delete multiple pages.

I say remove the link and let the article stay. If not, we need to somehow find a way for people to prove that their posse actually exists, but I'm not sure how that could be done.

[gboyers]

I don't think we can single out these users and treat them differently - that's asking for trouble.

If we have a policy of saying that a Posse must actually be for multiplayer, then every Posse will be treated the same, and it's not personal against these /b/tards, so they have no reason to get upset.

And I'm not sure how "fags" can really be allowed on a public wiki like this, in any context. The Behaviour Policy states: "Many offensive words are common, and you may be used to them, however they are not acceptable on this wiki".

[KristofferAG]

I don't really see how "newfags", even inside a pair of "", can be taken as offensive to any people.

If you look at the rules for Posses: http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Dead_Wiki:Posse_Pages

You'll see that it uses the phrase "Badass motherfuckers like us don't take no shit from dumbass assholes" as an example for what you can say. I don't see how that is any less offensive than "no "newfags" allowed".

It seems like the behaviour rules don't apply to posses. Either that, or one of them needs to be changed. I still don't think the article should be removed. The link can, but not the whole article.

[WugHD]

You guys are making this matter way to important,

No racism, directed insults, Pornography or anything ilegal by US law.

As Gboyers said as an administrator you need to ask yourself is it damaging to the wiki or its users?

If you deem a ban neccesary, Delete the Posse page if that user is the owner, I ussualy give them an hour time to copy and paste it somewhere.

But don't waste valuable time on watching small things like 'Fag' etc.

And taking the Discussion here isn't the propper page, please make a thread for discussions and don't clog up the Report Vandalism page.

Sincerely WugHD

some posses are offensive though especially some of are cousins across the atlantic, as soon as they hear or notice we are in a different country to them it all kicks off and why is it they can shoot us but as soon as we shoot them they get all nasty
