Forum:Vandalism '''by''' a VSTF member

Not the first time VegaDark has become a vandal
I too encountered vandalism by VegaDark. After a page was vandalised, he deleted it instead of checking the page history to see that it was a valid article which had existed for 9 months prior to the vandalism, and it was a year until his vandalism was noticed. I think VegaDark is either too irresponsible or too incompetent to hold the position he does. -452 05:57, September 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Insulting volunteers and assuming willful or deliberate action in a public setting is not the way to do things around here. I can assure you that this (wherever or whatever you're referring to) was not intentional and we are people too. Nobody is infallible, nobody. Instead of trying to start drama, you can politely and properly bring up the situation on the VSTF wiki and the page can be restored. Speaking of which, you failed to mention the place or any specific details so nobody can really address the real problem. Please do not create any new topics in this fashion, it is bad faith and immature. -- Austin (Talk) 06:07, September 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Vandalism is malicious. Not all destructive changes are malicious. Therefore, not all destructive changes are vandalous, and not all destructive editors are vandals. Not arguing this either way, just pointing out that "vandalism" seems to be too harsh a term in this situation.


 * User452, your language of "irresponsible" and "incompetent" was over the line. Community Central members should always assume good faith and exercise patience with other users. VSTF members have been given a large volume of tasks to do on Wikia, so sometimes it is inevitable that a mistake will be made. That does not mean at all that we should ignore the mistakes, and I will be looking at this situation closely with VegaDark to see if we can prevent similar things happening down the line. I apologize that this caused on an issue on your wiki.
 * All users reading this, I would encourage you to contact on their CC Message Wall the VSTF member in question to discuss a block, deletion, or restoration you find puzzling. If you do not find the answer satisfactory or do not receive a timely response, you are encouraged to contact Staff for a third-party examination. --DaNASCAT (help forum | blog) 15:57, September 28, 2012 (UTC)
