Forum:Someone attacked Bakugan Wiki

Look for http://bakugan.wikia.com/wiki/Bakugan_Wiki Someone attacked it and blocked all admins. Please, do something with it. THIS IS SPARTA-N BUZZEK 11:17, October 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Report this to the VSTF. It looks like DarkusAlpha managed to gain access to the account KellynKaz, and used that to block all of the admins. In the mean time, I'd suggest that KellynKaz reset his/her password (if possible), and that the account have all rights removed from it and be indefinitely blocked as soon as possible. Once the account is restored to its original owner (and is secure), you should remove the block and restore its rights.


 * I think I have the situation under control. Gyeesh, that boy has a death wish. -- DQ13 ~ Boredom really  irritates me.  12:20, October 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I would still suggest reporting to the VSTF, a checkuser can be run on KellynKaz to confirm whether or not Darkus did indeed access the account. If he didn't, it would indicate that KellynKaz also had a part in this and should be dealt with accordingly.


 * Checkuser ...? I have to look that up. -- DQ13 ~ Boredom really  irritates me.  12:32, October 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Checkuser is a restricted action that allows someone to view IP information on an account. It allows you to identify if one person is controlling one or more accounts by showing all edits from an IP (or range of IPs), whether the user was logged in or not. Essentially, if DarkusAlpha did indeed access KellynKaz, a checkuser would reveal that his IP (or a similar IP) made edits from KellynKaz's account.
 * I took a look at the block logs and must admit that i can feel someone being angered by the attitude of the admins on the bakugan wiki.
 * Blocking people indefinetely over inserting a bit of gibberish or removing content is not in line of normal blocking policies. Usually that results in max a week's ban and the ability to appeal the ban at one's own talk page (or the admin's one in question). Yet the admins at the Bakugan wiki permanently shut someone up with banning every possible communication indefinetely once some enters some gibberish or removing some content.
 * I can understand that you don't have much patience with the amount of activity on the wiki and some trolls lurking around but it might be smart to come to some agreement to set fair rules. You got plenty of admins to patrol the wiki, is it not?
 * Yust my two cents.
 * For abuse of sysop priviliges (including authorised access to a sysop account), there's not much we can do - I'd recommend contacting staff about this issue, we use checkuser for our own internal purposes for cleaning up vandalism and so we wouldn't be able to tell you if 2 users shared an account, only staff would be able to do that. WikiPim: Although that seems excessive, each wiki has it's own seperate administrative criteria, and sysops set bans to what they think are appropiate, blocks are at their own discression - hopefully with appropiate discussion with other users, even if you think that such blocks would threaten the growth of the wiki --  Random Time  15:19, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
