Hello! Your post just brightened up my day!

I met both of these kinds of people, but the majority was the kind ones. ;)

If I see someone trolling, vandalizing or spamming, I will try to ask them why they are doing this and lead them back to the right path before giving out a warning. Often, it's just a misunderstanding. Someone either is too young and doesn't understand or wanted to help, but ended up messing up things instead.

Of cause, that's unless its a very severe case like the one I encountered a few days ago, where a person was cross-vandalizing over various wikis. It was clear, that they were just messing with others, because the emptied entire pages and left nonsensical or even threatening posts over at other people's walls. But these are luckily very rare.

I don't know about my reputation, but I am the founder of a wiki and an admin at four others. In general, people come over to my message wall, if they need help or simply someone to talk to and I will be there for them as quickly as possible and answer them with only best intentions in mind.

I am not a fan of blocking others, but sometimes, there's no other way to stop them. This is the last ressort, though. People should always be approached and talked to instead prejudging them.
